4. Setup and Before First Use
Unpacking:
- Carefully remove the appliance from its packaging.
- Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels.
- Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.
Placement:
- Place the double burner on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
- Keep the unit away from flammable materials.
Initial Burn-Off:
Before using for the first time, operate the unit on the highest setting for approximately 5-10 minutes without any cookware. This will burn off any manufacturing residues. A small amount of smoke and odor is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
Cleaning Before Use:
After the initial burn-off and cooling, wipe the non-electrical parts with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue. Refer to the 'Cleaning and Maintenance' section for detailed instructions.
5. Operating Instructions
Connecting to Power:
- Ensure both temperature control knobs are in the 'OFF' position.
- Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
Using the Burners:
- Place your desired cookware (pots, pans, etc.) onto the cast iron plate of the burner you wish to use. Ensure the cookware is flat-bottomed and covers the entire heating surface for optimal heat transfer.
- Turn the corresponding temperature control knob to your desired heat setting. Settings range from 1 (low) to 5 (high).
- The red indicator light for that burner will illuminate, indicating that the burner is heating. The light will cycle on and off as the burner maintains the set temperature.
- Allow time for the burner to heat up. Cast iron plates retain heat well, providing even cooking.
- After cooking, turn the temperature control knob back to the 'OFF' position. The indicator light will turn off.
- Allow the burner to cool completely before cleaning or storing. The plates will remain hot for a period after being turned off.
Compatible Cookware:
This double burner is compatible with virtually all types of cookware, including stainless steel, ceramic, cast iron, glass, and aluminum. For best results, use cookware with a flat bottom that matches the size of the burner plate.
