HOW TO USE

1. Ensure that the Portable Ceramic Infrared Cooktop is placed on a 

smooth, dry, flat surface with at least 10cm (4") of space on all 
sides of the appliance.  NEVER block the air vents.  Plug into any 
120 Volt A.C. outlet.

2. Press the ON/OFF Switch, on the right side, to the ON position. 
3. Touch and hold the Lock Touchpad Symbol for 1 – 3 seconds until 

you hear a ‘beep’ and the light goes out. 

4. Place filled cookware on the Cooktop, inside the designated cooking 

area.  

Note:

Use pots with a bottom diameter between 18 and 28 

cm (7 - 11").  Do not heat the appliance without a filled pot on the 
Cooktop.  Using the Cooktop without a pot may cause the inner 
temperature to rise high enough to damage the Cooktop.  

5. Touch the Stand By/Off Touchpad symbol.  The appliance will ‘beep’ 

and you will hear the fan start. 

6. The default temperature setting is LOW.  Touch the ‘hand symbol’ 

touchpad and the temperature will increase.  As you increase the 
temperature, the lights will turn on to indicate the chosen 
temperature setting. 
NOTE: To go back to a lower setting, touch the ‘hand symbol’ 
touchpad and the temperature will go to HIGH then start back at 
the LOW setting.

7. The Timer is an optional function.  You can either choose one of the 

preprogrammed times or you can use the Cooktop without setting a 
time. 

8. Once you have set the temperature and time (optional), you can 

touch the Lock Touchpad so the Temperature or Time Touchpads 
cannot be pressed accidently during cooking.  The Stand By/Off 
button will still function.  If you want to change the time or 
temperature, touch and hold the Lock Touchpad for 3 seconds (until 
you hear a ‘beep’) to unlock the controls so the Temperature and 
Time Touchpads will function. 

9. When the Hot Surface Warning Light is ON, the Cooktop will be hot.  

DO NOT TOUCH.

10. When finished cooking, touch the Stand By/Off Touchpad and the 

unit will be in ‘Standby’.  The Hot Surface Light and the fan will 
remain on until the unit has cooled down.
