Using your induction cooker
Selecting types of cookware
You need to use cookware that contains magnetic induction materials such as:
• Iron
• Stainless steel
• Enameled stainless steel
Use a magnet to test the bottoms of cookware. If the magnet "sticks," you can use
them with your cooker.
You can use cookware with a diameter (at the base of the cookware) between
5.5 to 8.3 in. (14 to 21 cm).
Setting up your induction cooker
• Make sure that you carefully remove all of the packaging materials.
• Make sure that your cooker is placed horizontally on a flat, firm, dry surface at
least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall, curtains, and any other flammable
material.
• Use a dedicated power outlet with more than a 15A capacity, if possible. If you
must plug an appliance into the same power outlet, make sure that the outlet
can handle the combined electrical capacity of your cooker and the other
appliance.
• Never use a universal outlet because it may not meet safety standards and
may cause a fire.
• Your cooker comes with a short power cord to help prevent getting entangled
in or tripping over the cord. If you use an extension cord, make sure that the
extension cord:
• Meets or exceeds the electrical rating of your cooker.
• Doesn’t drape over your cooker or the countertop where children can pull
on it.
Built-in safety protections
Your cooker has built-in safety protections to help prevent damage to your cooker
or a fire.
Over-temperature protection
—If the temperature inside your cooker's body is
too high, your cooker stops heating.
Voltage abnormality or over-current protection
—When the voltage is
abnormal or the current increases abruptly, your cooker stops. After the issues are
solved, your cooker works again normally.
Container detection system
—If you move the cookware while your cooker is
cooking, your cooker stops heating immediately and makes a sound. After about
60 seconds, your cooker automatically enters standby mode.
Automatic shutdown protection
—When the timer expires, your cooker
automatically shuts off until you enter a new cook time.
Note:
Your cooker was tested using type 430 cookware with a bottom diameter
of 7 in. ± .4 in. (18 cm ± 1 cm). Performance using other sizes and types of
cookware may vary.
