The induction cooker heats the internal metal resistance wire through an electric current, then transfers the heat to the microcrystalline glass panel, and finally transfers the heat to the cookware and food through infrared radiation and direct contact conduction
Due to its operational characteristics, special attention must be paid to safety when using an induction cooktop:
1. Strictly prevent high-temperature burns!
· This is the most important point. When the induction cooker is in operation and for a long time after it is turned off (possibly up to 30 minutes or even longer), both the panel and the core area are in an extremely high-temperature state. There is usually a residual heat warning light on the panel. As long as the light is on, never touch it with your hands, and inform your family members (especially children and the elderly) to stay away.
· Do not place any non-cooking items, such as lighters, plastics, rags, etc., on the stove surface when it is hot to prevent fires or melting.
2. Compatible with any pot but picky about the pot bottom
· Although it is not picky about materials, to ensure heating efficiency and safety, a flat-bottomed pan must be used. A round-bottomed pan (such as a wok) will reduce the contact area, resulting in extremely low heating efficiency, and the pan is unstable and prone to tipping over.
· The diameter of the cookware should preferably match the marked range of the burner core area, and do not use a pot that is too small.
3. Pay attention to power supply and power
· The power of an induction cooktop is usually high (up to over 2000W), so it is essential to use a dedicated socket and power cord capable of withstanding 16A current, avoid sharing a socket with other high-power appliances, and prevent overloading.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance
· Cleaning must be carried out after the cooker has completely cooled down! It is strictly prohibited to wipe with a cold damp cloth when the cooker is hot, as sudden temperature changes may cause the ceramic glass panel to crack.
· When cleaning, use a soft damp cloth and a neutral cleaner. Avoid using hard objects such as steel wool to scrub, so as not to damage the panel.
5. Operating Environment
· Keep the surrounding area well-ventilated and away from flammable and explosive materials (such as curtains, oil, alcohol, etc.).
· Since it has a real high temperature like an open flame, special attention should be paid to avoiding dry firing, which not only damages the cooking appliance but is also extremely dangerous.
