When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or the heating unit in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer service for assistance.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "OFF", then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.

The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

4.1 Temperature Control

Each burner is controlled by an independent knob, allowing you to select from 5 heating levels. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the heat and counter-clockwise to decrease it or turn it OFF.

• OFF: Burner is off.
• Level 1-2 (Low Temp): Approximately 302°F - 500°F (150°C - 260°C) - Ideal for keeping food warm or gentle simmering.
• Level 3-4 (Middle Temp): Approximately 698°F - 842°F (370°C - 450°C) - Suitable for stir-frying and general cooking.
• Level 5 (High Temp): Up to 1022°F (550°C) - For deep frying and rapid boiling.

The red indicator light will illuminate when the burner is actively heating. It will extinguish once the set temperature is reached and cycle on and off to maintain the desired heat level.

4.2 Cookware Compatibility

The TeqHome hot plate is compatible with a wide range of cookware types. For optimal performance, use cookware with flat bottoms that make full contact with the heating coils.

• Compatible Cookware: Aluminum pans, copper pans, cast iron frying pans, and non-magnetic stainless steel pans.
• Avoid: Cookware with convex, concave, or uneven bottoms, as this can lead to inefficient heating and potential instability.

4.3 General Usage

1. Place your desired cookware, filled with food or liquid, onto the center of the heating coil.
2. Turn the corresponding temperature control knob to the desired heating level (1-5). The indicator light will turn on.
3. Monitor your cooking. Adjust the temperature as needed.
4. Once cooking is complete, turn the knob to the "OFF" position and unplug the unit from the power outlet. Allow the hot plate to cool completely before handling or cleaning.
