Thank you for choosing the CUSIMAX Double Burner 1800W Electric Ceramic Hot Plate. This appliance is designed to provide efficient and versatile cooking capabilities for various indoor settings. Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before initial use to ensure safe operation and optimal performance. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Infrared Heating Technology: Utilizes infrared heating elements beneath durable crystallite glass plates, ensuring rapid heat-up and efficient heat transfer to cookware.
• Versatile Cookware Compatibility: Suitable for all types of cookware, including frying pans, aluminum pots, steak plates, ceramic pots, woks, glass pots, stainless steel pots, and tea pots, up to 7.1 inches in diameter.
• Compact & Portable Design: Its sleek, matte black stainless steel construction is lightweight and space-saving, making it ideal for small kitchens, dorms, RVs, camping (with electrical access), or as an extra cooking surface.
• Safety Features: Includes automatic safety shut-off, overheat protection, and non-slip feet for stable operation. Operates without electromagnetic radiation.
• Easy to Clean: The smooth crystallite glass surface and stainless steel body are designed for simple cleaning with a damp cloth once cooled.

3. Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the hot plate from its packaging. Ensure all packing materials are removed, especially any protective film or stickers from the heating plates.
2. Placement: Place the hot plate on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. The non-slip feet provide stability.
3. Initial Burn-Off: Before cooking food, operate the hot plate empty for 3-5 minutes at the maximum heat setting. This process burns off any protective coating applied during manufacturing and may produce a slight odor or smoke. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this initial use.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V electrical outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Turn the desired burner's control knob from the "OFF" position to your desired heat setting (1-7, or MAX). The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the burner is heating.
2. Temperature Control: Adjust the thermostat knob to select the appropriate heat level for your cooking needs. The heating light may cycle on and off during operation as the thermostat maintains the set temperature.
3. Cookware Placement: Place your compatible cookware (up to 7.1 inches) directly onto the ceramic heating plate.
4. Dual Operation: Both burners can be operated simultaneously with independent temperature controls.
5. Power Off: After cooking, turn the control knob back to the "OFF" position. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet when not in use.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

1. Cool Down: Always ensure the hot plate is completely cool before cleaning. The ceramic plates retain heat for a significant period after being turned off.
2. Unplug: Disconnect the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
3. Cleaning Surface: Wipe the crystallite glass plates and stainless steel body with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
4. Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or sharp objects, as these can scratch or damage the surface.
5. Storage: Once clean and completely dry, the compact design allows for easy storage on its side or in a cupboard.
