IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical
appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces! Always use hot pads or pot holders until unit cools.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse unit, cord or plug in water or other liquid. Also make sure that no
water or steam can infiltrate the underside.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning or storing the appliance.
6. Do not o
perate
any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged
in any manner.
If cracks, fissures or breakage occur, immediately turn off the appliance and disconnect the plug.

Inappropriate repairs may result in considerable dangers for the user!
Return the appliance to the Cadco Factory
Service Department (call 860-738-2500 for Return Authorization first) for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. Place unit on a heat-resistant, stable and plain working surface. The space above the appliance must be free and the
distance from the wall must be at least 4 on all sides to ensure unhindered air circulation.
12. Overheated fat or oil can ignite. This is why foods containing fat or oil must be prepared under supervision only.
13. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when the pot or pan on it contains hot oil or other hot liquid.
14. Always turn any control to OFF before removing plug from wall outlet.
15. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. They can scratch and ruin the finish of your unit.
16. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
17. DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKTOP. If glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock.
18. Clean cooktop
with

caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful t
o avoid
a
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
19. Do not use cooking containers consisting of inferior enamel, synthetic material, china, or aluminum foil.
DO NOT USE PLASTIC WRAP.
20. Do not store any objects on top of the appliance. Do not use it as a worktop.
21.
Any damages resulting from non-observance of instructions in this manual will not be covered by warranty.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If an extension
cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. Also, the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

This unit is equipped with a grounded, 3-pronged commercial plug. For safety, this plug MUST be connected to a 3
pronged outlet. Before connecting power, make sure the outlets voltage and frequency correspond to the data plate on
the range (120 volts/60hz.)
Only connect unit to alternating current (AC).

Important notes:
Only use pots or pans suitable for induction cooking, i.e. cooking utensils that are made of ferromagnetic material.
Always keep the cooking surface and the pot bottom clean and dry.
Rough-bottomed cookware can scratch the ranges
heating surface.

Do not place food directly on the cooking surface. Always use cookware.

Do not leave any food in aluminium foil on the cooking surface, nor cutlery, pot lids or other objects made of metal
as those might become hot.

Cover cookware while in use whenever possible to avoid spatters on cooktop

Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects. Protect the glass plate against breakage by
falling objects.

Caution: This appliance complies with the standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility. Nonetheless persons
with heart pacemakers should keep away from induction cooking plates!
We cannot verify that every heart pacemaker available on the market complies with the current standards for safety and
electromagnetic compatibility respectively and that there is no interference caused that might affect the correct operation
of the pacemaker.
There may also be malfunctions of other appliances, such as hearing aids.

INTRODUCTION
Cooking with induction is based upon a heating principle that is completely different from cooking on conventional
cooktops. The heat is generated straight in the pot bottom by eddy currents. The cooktop itself is not heated, but
only the bottom of the cooking vessel. Consequently, the usual heat losses are avoided and the efficiency of the
energy expended is optimised.

Advantages of Induction Cooking
As the pot bottom is heated instantaneously, induction cooking is very energy-saving (saves up to 50% in
comparison with other cooking methods). Preheating of the range is not necessary.
The induction cooktop generates or interrupts the heat supply immediately after the activation of the control. This
efficient energy utilisation allows for an exact control of the heat supply and is furthermore time-saving in the
cooking process.

A further amount of time is saved on account of the extreme speed by which energy is available after switch-on. No
waiting times!


Induction cooking provides for extra safety: Even when the cooking utensils are removed from the cooktop without
having turned off the cooktop, the heating process is interrupted automatically. In case a cloth or another
combustible material should be placed on the cooktop by accident, it cannot burn even if the cooktop has been
activated. After the cooking process nothing but the residual heat emitted by the pot is perceivable on the glass
ceramic plate.

The cooking surface is very easy to care for. As the Ceran
®
or the glass ceramic cooktop is not heated up directly,
leftovers cannot scorch. Neither do you have to wait for it to cool before you clean it.

Selecting pots and pans:
Suitable: any flat-bottomed (3-5/32 10-1/4 in diameter) cooking utensils made of iron, such as enamelled pots,
cast-iron or stainless steel pots.
Unsuitable: any cooking utensils consisting of aluminium, copper, glass or ceramic, as well as any pots having a
pot diameter of less than 3-5/32.
Tip: Check by means of a magnet whether the pot bottom is suitable. If the magnet clings to the outside of the pot
bottom, the vessel is qualified for induction cooking.
