5. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the induction cooktop from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Placement: Place the cooktop on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, keeping at least 4 inches (10 cm) clearance from walls or other appliances to allow for proper airflow through the cooling vents.
3. Power Connection: Ensure your power outlet is 110V and properly grounded. Plug the cooktop's power cord into the grounded electrical outlet.
4. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the ceramic glass surface and stainless steel body with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
5. Cookware Check: Verify that your cookware is induction-compatible. Induction cooktops require pots and pans made of ferromagnetic materials (e.g., cast iron, magnetic stainless steel). A simple test is to see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot.
