4. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the appliance from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the double burner on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation.
3. Power Connection: Ensure the temperature control knobs are in the "OFF" position before plugging the unit into a standard electrical outlet.
4. First Use (Burn-in): It is normal for the unit to emit a slight odor or smoke during the first few uses as protective coatings burn off. Operate the unit at its highest setting for 3-5 minutes without cookware in a well-ventilated area to complete this process.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Plug the appliance into a suitable electrical outlet.
2. Place Cookware: Place your desired cookware on the ceramic glass cooktop. For best results, use flat-bottomed cookware that is as close to the 7.5-inch diameter of the burner as possible.
3. Adjust Temperature: Turn the adjustable control knob for the desired burner to the appropriate temperature setting (levels 1-6, with 6 being Max). The indicator light will illuminate red, signaling that the burner is heating.
4. Cooking: Allow the burner to heat up. The indicator light will cycle on and off as the burner maintains the selected temperature.
5. Power Off: After cooking, turn the control knob back to the "OFF" position. Unplug the appliance from the outlet and allow it to cool completely before handling or storing.

Compatible Cookware:

Unlike induction cooktops, this infrared burner works effectively with virtually all types of cookware, including stainless steel, ceramic, cast iron, and glassware. Ensure cookware has a flat bottom for optimal heat transfer.
