• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• This appliance generates heat during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires, or other damage to persons or property.

Product Overview

Familiarize yourself with the components of your Berghoff Induction Stove:

• Induction Cooktop Surface: The black glass surface where cookware is placed.
• Control Panel: Located at the front, featuring a digital display, power/temperature control knob, and function buttons.
• Cooling Fan Vents: Located on the underside and sides, essential for dissipating heat. Ensure these are not blocked.
• Power Cord: For connecting the unit to an electrical outlet.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the induction stove from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Placement: Place the unit on a dry, stable, level, and non-metallic surface. Ensure there is at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clear space around the unit for proper ventilation. Do not place it on a tablecloth or carpet.
3. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded.
4. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the cooktop surface with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing.

Operating Instructions

1. Cookware Compatibility: Ensure your cookware is suitable for induction. Induction-compatible cookware has a magnetic base. Test by placing a magnet on the bottom of your pot or pan; if it sticks, it's compatible. Use flat-bottomed pots and pans with a diameter between 4.7 inches (12 cm) and 10.2 inches (26 cm).
2. Placement of Cookware: Place the induction-compatible pot or pan centrally on the cooking zone.
3. Powering On: Plug in the unit. The display will show "OFF". Press the Power button to turn the unit on. The display will show "ON" or a default power level.
4. Adjusting Power/Temperature: Use the control knob to adjust the power level or temperature setting. The display will show the selected level or temperature. Higher numbers indicate more heat.
5. Cooking: The induction stove will begin heating the cookware immediately.
6. Powering Off: After cooking, turn the control knob to the lowest setting or press the Power button to turn the unit off. The display will show "OFF". Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when not in use.

Note: The cooling fan may continue to run for a short period after the unit is turned off to cool down internal components. This is normal.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help prolong the life of your induction stove.

• Before Cleaning: Always unplug the unit from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Cooktop Surface: Wipe the glass cooktop surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
• Control Panel: Wipe the control panel with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use excessive water.
• Exterior: Clean the exterior housing with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do Not Use: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface.
