Important Safety Information

Please read all instructions carefully before using the appliance. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Compatible Cookware: Use only induction-compatible cookware. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it is suitable for induction cooking.
• Cool-Touch Surface: The cooktop surface itself does not generate heat directly. Heat is transferred to the cookware. The surface remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns.
• Pot Detection: The cooktop features an automatic pot detection system. It will only activate and heat when compatible cookware is placed on the cooking zone. An audible error signal (e.g., 'E1' message) will indicate if no pot is detected or if the cookware is incompatible.
• Spill Prevention: The crystal glass surface is designed to prevent spills from baking on, making cleanup easier and safer.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit during operation. Do not block air vents.
• Children and Pets: Keep the appliance out of reach of children and pets. Although the surface remains cool, hot cookware can cause burns.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the cooktop and all packaging materials. Retain packaging for storage or return if necessary.
2. Placement: Place the cooktop on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for proper ventilation. Do not place it near heat sources or flammable materials.
3. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements.
4. Cookware Test: Before first use, verify your cookware is induction-compatible. Place a magnet on the bottom of your pot or pan. If it sticks, the cookware is suitable.
