• Be sure to operate the unit on a fl at, level and stable surface.
• Do not connect the unit to the same outlet with other household appliances such

• Never attempt to unplug this product by pulling on the power cable.
• Do not move the unit during cooking or with hot cookware on top of it.
• Do not place any empty cooking vessels on the surface while it is functioning. An
empty cooking vessel will heat up very rapidly and may cause material damage or

when the cable is damaged. If the power cable shows any signs of defect, let a

• Do not heat up any unopened cans of food on cooking surface. A heated can of
food could explode. Only cook or warm food in induction compatible cookware.
• Although the surface of the unit remains cool to the touch because heat is
transferred directly to the cooking vessel. Please note that residual heat radiated
down from the cooking vessel will eventually warm up the cooking surface,
especially the area directly underneath the pot. Be careful when handling the unit
after use and let it cool down before storing.
• Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution using
or standing near an induction unit while it is in operation, as the electromagnetic

consulting your doctor or the pacemaker or similar medical device manufacturer
about your particular situation.
