IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to
persons, including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• Make sure that your outlet voltage corresponds to the voltage stated on
the rating label of the induction cooktop.
• Do not share the power outlet with electrical appliances with high power
ratings such as air conditioners or electric stoves, to avoid overheating the
outlet and the risk of fire.
• To avoid accidents, do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or
counter or touch hot surfaces.
• To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not
immerse cord, plugs, or the cooktop in water or other liquid.
• When using the cooktop, place it horizontally and allow at least 4.7 inches
(12 cm) of free space between the sides and back of the cooktop and the
wall. Do not use the cooktop in narrow or enclosed spaces.
• When using the cooktop, do not put it on any metal platform (such as iron,
stainless steel, or aluminum).
• Do not use the cooktop near a gas stove, kerosene stove, gas cooker, or
in any space with an open fire or an environment with high temperatures.
• Do not place within close proximity of other induction appliances. There is a
potential for electromagnetic interference, even if one of them is switched off.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spills may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact the Mueller Customer Service.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should not be
placed on the hot surface since they can get hot.
• The total weight of the cookware (including food contents) must not
exceed 44 lbs (20 kg).
• Do not block the Exhaust vent. Blocking may overheat the unit.
• Do not place the cooktop on carpet, fabrics, thin paper or similar as during
use these materials may block the air inlet and air outlet openings, which
could result in overheating.
• Do not heat an empty pot.
• Do not heat food in aluminum foil or in plastic containers on the cooktop,
as they may melt and result in a fire or damage to the cooktop.
• The appliance is not intended to be controlled by external timers or sepa-
rate remote control system.
• People with pacemakers or similar medical devices should use care when
standing near this induction cooktop while it is powered on. The electromag-
netic field may affect pacemakers or similar devices. Consult your doctor or
the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional
information regarding the possible effects of electromagnetic fields emitted
by induction cookers. In addition, non-metal cooking utensils and cookware
with non-metal handles should be used to avoid interference.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing the use of the appliances by a person responsible for their safety.
• WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot
during use. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface units or areas near the cooking
surface until it has had sufficient time to cool.

How does it work?
Induction cooking utilizes an electromagnetic field to directly heat the base
of pans made of ferrous material, such as iron, placed on the cooktop. This
method is significantly faster than traditional gas cooking, perfect for quick
methods like stir-frying, yet can also gently melt chocolate or prepare
delicate sauces. The cooktop's surface remains cooler, making it easy to
clean and reducing the risk of spill-overs becoming burnt onto the surface.
What types of cookware can be used?
Induction cooktops will only operate with specific cookware. The bottom
surface of the cookware must be made of ferrous (magnetic) material, such

as cast iron, enameled steel, or magnetic-grade stainless steel. The interior
or cooking surface may be constructed from different materials, including
aluminum or non-ferrous metals, and may feature a non-stick coating,
provided the base is ferrous.
To verify compatibility, perform a simple test: place a fridge magnet against
the bottom of the cookware. If the magnet adheres securely, the cookware
is suitable for use on your induction cooktop.
Additionally, cookware must have a flat bottom to ensure proper contact
with the cooktop surface and be within the size range of 4.7” – 10.2” (12-26
cm) in diameter for efficient energy transfer and cooking performance.
What can I cook on an induction cooker?
What you can cook on an induction cooker is no different than what you can
cook with a gas or electric cooker, or any other form of heat. There are no
special recipes or cookbooks.

1. Place the induction cooker on a dry, stable, and level surface. Make sure
there is at least 5 inches (12 cm) of free space around the appliance to
prevent overheating.
2. Fill your pot or pan with liquid or food to be cooked and place it on the
cooking surface. The total weight of the cookware (including food contents)
must not exceed 44lbs (20kg).
• The external base surface of the cookware must be made of a ferrous
magnetic material such as cast iron, enameled steel, or magnetic
stainless steel. Check the base of your cookware for induction symbol
functionality, or test with a magnet as mentioned in IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS.
• NEVER heat empty cookware. This will cause the unit to overheat,
damage the cookware and/or cause the unit to shut off.
4. Push the ON/OFF button to turn the
unit on. The message “ON” appears on
display, and a beep is heard.
5. Push one of the cooking mode buttons
to select a cooking mode and start cook-
ing (refer to the “COOKING MODES”
section of this manual for more informa-
tion on cooking modes). When the cook-
ing surface temperature reaches 140°F
and above, the red indicator light on the
LED display will turn on.
3. Plug the unit into a power outlet. The
unit will beep, the indicators on the LED
display will illuminate, and the blue indica-
tor light will turn on. The cooktop is now in
standby mode.

• As a safety measure, if you don’t
select a cooking mode within 30 sec-
onds after the cooktop has been
turned on, the cooktop will switch
back to standby mode.
• If the cookware is removed from the
cooktop during cooking, the unit will

code 'E0' for 1 minute. After this time,
the cooktop will switch back to stand-
by mode. To reactivate the cooktop
within that 1 minute, simply place the
cookware back on the cooktop.
NOTE: E0 error can also appear if you
are using cookware with a non- mag-
netic bottom.
NOTE: As printed on the rating label, this product is ETL Certified to
operate 60 MINUTES “ON” IN A TWO-HOUR PERIOD. The unit is
programmed to cycle on and off while maintaining internal cooking
temperature so this heating time is not exceeded.
6. Push the ON/OFF button when
finished cooking to set the unit in standby
mode.
7. The cooling fan inside the cooktop will
continue to run for approximately 1
minute to cool off the cooktop. Unplug the
cooker after the fan stops working.

touch the cooking surface during use or
immediately after the cooker has been
turned off.
