6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On

Plug the cooktop into a standard electrical outlet. Place induction-compatible cookware containing food or liquid onto the center of the cooktop surface. Press the power button on the unit or turn the knob on the control box to activate.

6.2 Adjusting Temperature/Power

Use the touch controls on the unit (if applicable) or the knob on the detachable control box to adjust the heating level. The SmartScan technology will automatically detect the pan and optimize power delivery.

6.3 Induction Cookware Compatibility

The SR-141R requires cookware made of ferromagnetic material. To test if your cookware is compatible, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pot or pan. If the magnet sticks, the cookware is suitable for induction cooking.

6.4 Powering Off

After cooking, turn the control knob to the minimum setting or press the power button on the unit to turn off the cooktop. The unit will cool down, and the fan may continue to run for a short period to dissipate heat.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your cooktop.

• Always unplug the cooktop and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the tempered glass surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cooktop cleaner specifically designed for glass surfaces.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface.
• Clean the exterior housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not allow water or liquids to enter the internal components.
• Ensure the ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SR-141R cooktop, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Cooktop does not power on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check the circuit breaker or fuse box.
• Cookware is not heating:
