Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your cooktop.
- Before Cleaning: Always unplug the cooktop from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Surface Cleaning: Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for ceramic cooktops. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Housing Cleaning: Wipe the exterior housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers, as they can scratch the surface.
- Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the cooktop in water or any other liquid.
- Clear Vents: Periodically check and clean the air inlet and outlet vents to ensure they are free from dust and debris, which can impede airflow and cause overheating.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your cooktop, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Error Code / Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| E0 / E2 / E3 | Power supply issue, voltage fluctuation. | Check power connection and ensure stable 120V supply. Try plugging into a different outlet. |
| E1 | No cookware detected or incompatible cookware. | Place an induction-compatible pot/wok on the cooktop. Ensure the cookware base is within the recommended size. |
| E8 / E9 | Overheating. | Turn off the cooktop and unplug it. Allow it to cool down. Check if air vents are blocked. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for ventilation. |
| Cooktop does not turn on | No power, faulty plug/cord, or internal issue. | Check power outlet and cord. Ensure the plug is fully inserted. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Food not heating evenly | Cookware not flat, incorrect size, or low-quality cookware. | Use high-quality, flat-bottomed (if applicable) induction-compatible cookware that matches the coil size. |
