Setup and Installation
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the cooktop and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
- Placement: Place the cooktop on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance (at least 10-15 cm clearance from walls or other objects). Do not place it near water sources or flammable materials.
- Power Connection: Ensure the voltage of your power supply matches the rating label on the cooktop (220 Volts). Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Avoid using extension cords if possible; if necessary, use a heavy-duty extension cord rated for the appliance's wattage.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the glass surface and the grill accessory with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before plugging in.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: Place appropriate cookware on the center of the cooktop. Plug the appliance into a power outlet. The digital display will illuminate, indicating standby mode.
- Select Cooking Mode: Press the "On/Off" button (usually a touch control) to activate the cooktop. Use the touch controls to select your desired cooking mode or function (e.g., Fry, Boil, Keep Warm).
- Adjust Power/Temperature: Use the rotary knob or dedicated touch buttons to adjust the power level (wattage) or temperature setting. The digital display will show the current setting.
- Set Timer (if available): If your selected mode allows, use the timer function to set a cooking duration. The cooktop will automatically switch off once the timer expires.
- Cooking: Monitor your food as it cooks. The infrared heating element provides consistent heat.
- Power Off: After cooking, press the "On/Off" button to turn off the cooktop. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet once cooking is complete and the surface has cooled.

- Before Cleaning: Always unplug the cooktop from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
