PARTS IDENTIFICATION

INDUCTION COOKTOP

SELECTING THE PROPER COOKWARE

• Your induction cooktop will not operate without the compatible cookware. Read the following information in this section carefully to get the maximum efficiency from your cooking unit. The rule of thumb for selecting cookware is, if a magnet sticks to the cookware’s bottom, the cookware will work on your duxtop® induction cooktop.

The bottom surface of the cookware must

• It is made of a ferrous magnetic material. If the cookware bottom is made of a material with low residual magnetic content, the “POT” error code may display, indicating the cookware is not suited for induction cooking.
• Have a flat bottom surface with a minimum bottom diameter of 5″. The diameter and thickness of the cookware’s magnetic layer need to be large enough to catch the magnetic wave, otherwise, the cooktop may not operate (displays “POT” error code).
• Touch the cooktop or rise no more than 1″ above it.

SUITABLE COOKWARE MATERIAL

• cast iron
• iron;
• magnetic steel;
• enameled iron,
• Stainless steel is manufactured with a magnetic bottom
• DO NOT use cookware made out of:
• Glass
• Ceramic
• Copper
• Aluminum
• Non-magnetic stainless steel (18/10, 18/8) bottom

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Place the unit on a dry, stable, level, and non-combustible, non-metallic surface.
• Allow at least 4 inches of space around the whole cooktop unit for proper ventilation.
• Plug the POWER CORD into a 120V/15 amp electrical socket. The unit will “Beep,” and the POWER INDICATOR light will illuminate red.
• Before turning the cooktop on, make sure the ingredients are in the compatible cookware and the cookware is centered on the COOKWARE ALIGNMENT GUIDE.
• Once the cooktop is plugged in, starting the cooking process is a simple two-step process. Press the “ON/OFF” button, the cooktop will cycle “ON”, the COOL AIR FAN will start, and the LCD display screen will light, showing a series of dashes. Press the “MENU” button, the cooktop will activate at the default power setting of 5.0.
• After cooking is completed, press the “ON/OFF” button to turn the unit off. The LCD screen will turn off; however, “HOT” will display, and the COOL AIR FAN will continue to run until the unit has cooled.
• If the cooktop unit does not operate as intended, see the Troubleshooting Guide section in this manual.

POWER MODE OPERATION

• The Power and Temperature Mode functions work independently of each other. The power level selected directly relates to the amount of wattage, or the BTU/HR equivalent, the cooktop generates. To increase the cooking speed, select a higher power level.
• TEMPERATURE MODE OPERATION
• The Temperature Mode should be used when a specific cooking temperature is required. Once the cookware has reached the selected temperature, the unit will cycle to maintain the selected cooking temperature

Additional Preset Function Buttons:

• LOCK – The “LOCK” button allows you to lock out all the other buttons and is a convenience and safety feature. It is designed to keep the cooking and timer settings from being accidentally changed once they have been set. The “LOCK” feature DOES NOT lock the ON/OFF button, so the cooktop can always be shut off if needed.

POWER MODE vS. TEMPERATURE MODE

• Switching between Power Mode and Temperature Mode is accomplished by pressing the “MENU” button. If a specific cooking temperature is not required, we suggest using Power mode instead of Temperature mode. To quickly bring a pot of water to boil, use a higher power level setting or simply press the “BOIL” button. For frying or browning food, the Temperature mode is preferred because the built-in microprocessor monitors and regulates the cookware temperature to the preset temperature. Frying or browning food under Power mode may overheat the cookware, and in some cases, extremely high temperatures may damage your cookware or cooktop.
• Limitations of Temperature Mode:
• Like all other cooktops with a glass cooktop, the temperature sensor is located underneath the glass top. As a result of that, and because different cookware yields different temperatures, the temperature readout is only an estimate of the actual cooking temperature. It is accurate enough for daily cooking requirements. The temperature in your pan may be different than the setting you have selected. Please test a few times to find the proper temperature setting for your particular cooking task and cookware.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• The cooktop is easy to maintain. Use a moist cloth with a mild liquid detergent to wipe off grease and stains, and then let dry. Protect the cooktop from dust by covering it when not in use. Things to avoid doing.
• DO NOT:
• clean the COOKTOP SURFACE with metal scouring pads, abrasives, or solvents
• immerse the cord or cooktop unit in water or other liquids
• Keep the unit plugged in while cleaning it
• Keep the unit plugged in when not in use
• store or clean the unit while still hot
• place objects heavier than 25 pounds on the COOKTOP SURFACE
• Use the unit if the COOKTOP SURFACE or POWER CORD is damaged
• Keep the cooktop unit on or near other heat sources

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE & CUSTOMER SERVICE

• If, after reviewing the troubleshooting guide, the problem is not resolved, do not attempt to repair the
  unit yourself. Please contact us at CustomerCare@thesecura.com for assistance.
• PROBLEM – After plugging in the power cord, the POWER INDICATOR LIGHT does not illuminate red:
• The plug may be loose in the electrical outlet or
• The circuit breaker may be inoperative or tripped
• PROBLEM – The POWER INDICATOR LIGHT is lit, but the fan is not running, nor is the cookware heating up:
• Press the “MENU” button
• The wrong type of cookware (non-magnetic) is being used
• The pan is not centered on the COOKTOP ALIGNMENT GUIDE correctly
• The COOKTOP SURFACE may be cracked

Error code guide

• If an error code appears in the LCD READOUT DISPLAY, follow the Instructions in the ERROR CODE table (below) to correct the problem
  

  ERROR CODE	PROBLEM	REMEDY
  POT	No cookware is detected, incompatible cookware is detected or cookware is not centered on the COOKWARE ALIGNMENT GUIDE.	If no cookware is on the cooktop, place cookware on the top within 1 minute. If incompatible cookware is detected, replace it with proper cookware. If the cookware is misaligned, move it within the COOKWARE ALIGNMENT GUIDE. The unit will shut down automatically after 1 minute if none of these actions are taken.
  E1	Excessive high temperature, cooking fan malfunction, or inadequate ventilation for the cooktop.	Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet. Ensure proper ventilation by making sure the fan is at least 4″ away from any obstruction. Wait 10 minutes for the cooktop and cookware to cool down, and then plug it back into a 120V electrical outlet. Turn the unit back on and listen for the fan to make sure it is running.
  E2	The sensor is in normal operation. When the surface temperature rises above approximately 518°F (270 °C), the unit will activate overheating protection. When the surface temperature rises above approximately 554°F (290°C), the unit will display E2 and shut down automatically in one minute.	This is a safety feature to prevent the cooking surface from overheating. It usually happens during POWER MODE when the cookware bottom is above 554°F (290°C). Extremely high temperatures could damage your cookware and cooktop. Allow the unit to cool down before using it again. Please refer to the steps for E1 above.
  E3	The voltage input is too high or too low, and the unit shuts down after 1 minute.	Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet. Verify the voltage is 110/120V AC with a voltage tester. If not, switch to a different electrical outlet with the proper voltage level before operating the unit.
