IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including the following:
1. Read all the instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord or plug in
water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool off before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the
appliance does not work properly or has been damaged in any
manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility
for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments that are not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
10. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids.
11. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the
wall outlet (for the detached power cord). To disconnect, turn OFF any
control, then pull the plug from the wall outlet.
12. Do not immerse in water.
13. A short power-supply cord (or detached power supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
14. If extension cords are available, they may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
15. Clean the cooktop with caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns as
some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
16. Do not heat the pot empty or overheat it.
17. Do not place metallic objects, such as knives, forks, spoons, lids, cans
and aluminum foils, on the top plate.
18. Allow sufficient space around the cooking area.
19. Never use the unit on low-heat-resistant materials (e.g. carpet, vinyl).
20. Do not place a sheet of paper between the pot/ pan and unit. The
paper may burn.
21. Be aware that the unit surface will remain hot for a short period of time.
22. Items with a magnetic field, such as radios, televisions, automatic-
banking cards, and cassette tapes, can affect the unit.
23. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt modifying the plug in any way.
24. Products do not need to be preheated before use.
25. Save these instructions.
