Max Burton 6000 - Induction Cooktop Manual

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

SELECTING THE PROPER COOKWARE

NOTE: Your induction cooktop will not operate without the proper cookware. The following properties and configurations are essential to provide maximum efficiency for your unit. In general if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the cookware, the cookware will work on your induction cooktop.

1. The outside surface must be made of ferrous magnetic materials including cast iron, carbon steel, and magnetic stainless steel (18/0)
2. Flat bottom surface. An uneven surface will not work.
3. Minimum bottom diameter of 4"; Maximum recommendend diameter of 13"

SUITABLE COOKWARE

Size and Form

Cookware should have a flat surface.

UNSUITABLE COOKWARE

Material: Glass, Ceramic, Copper, Aluminum, Non Magnetic S/S (18/10, 18/8)

Unsuitable Size and Form
Cookware of which the height from induction plate is over 1.5" and the bottom diameter is less than 4".

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

If the unit doesn't operate as intended, please see the Troubleshooting Guide in "Troubleshooting Guide & Customer Service".

ALWAYS USE A DEDICATED OUTLET. This unit is designed to operate on 110/120V and will require 15 amps. For optimum performance of your unit, use only one appliance per outlet. NEVER HEAT AN EMPTY PAN. This will immediately cause overheating to occur, which can damage the cookware and cause the unit to shut off.

SETUP

1. Place the unit on a dry, stable and level surface at least 4 inches away from walls to allow proper ventilation from the COOL AIR INLET and WARM AIR EXHAUST FAN. Never place on a flammable surface (table cloth or carpet).
2. Plug the POWER CORD into a 120V/15 amp electrical socket. The red POWER INDICATOR light will illuminate.
3. Before turning the unit on, make sure the ingredients are in the proper cookware, it is on the GLASS PLATE and centered over the COOKWARE PLACEMENT GUIDES. See "Selecting the Proper Cookware".
4. To turn the power on, press the ON/OFF button once. The fan will run and the default power setting of 5 will appear in the LED DISPLAY.
5. After cooking is completed, press the ON/OFF button to turn off the unit. The LED DISPLAY will turn off. The fan will continue running until the unit has cooled.

The cooking surface will remain hot for several minutes after the pan has been removed.

NOTE: The power will completely shut off and beep within 1 second if either

1. the wrong type of cookware is applied, or
2. no cookware is placed on the unit (see "Selecting the Proper Cookware").

This unit offers two methods of precise and efficient cooking using built-in computer controls and an automatic timer.
10 Power Modes
10 Temperature Modes from 100° to 450°F (38° to 232°C).
180-minute Timer

POWER MODE OPERATION

The POWER MODE function works independently from the temperature mode function. The power selected directly relates to the amount of wattage or the BTU/HR equivalent the cooktop uses. As you increase the power level, the cooking speed is increased, and more wattage is used.

• To select the POWER MODE function, press the FUNCTION button until the Power Mode LED is illuminated. The default power level setting is 5. Press the up or down buttons to adjust power level from 1–10.
• In the Power Mode, the temperature of the food being cooked is not regulated; only the power being used is set. For example, if you want to bring a pot of water to a boil quickly (higher power level), or a specific cooking temprature is not required, use the power level setting.
• If a specific cooking temperature is required, it is recommended that you use the TEMPERATURE MODE function.
• To avoid over-cooking or burning food, it is recommended that you start with a low power level setting and increase to a higher setting if required, until you become familiar with the performance of the cooktop.

TEMPERATURE MODE OPERATION

The TEMPERATURE MODE function works independently from the power mode function. The Temperature Mode should be used when a specific cooking temperature is required. Once the cookware has reached this temperature, the unit self-regulates by turning the internal cooling fan on and off to maintain the desired cooking temperature.

• To select the TEMPERATURE MODE function, press the FUNCTION button until the Temperature Mode LED is illuminated.
• The default temperature level setting is 250°F (115°C). Press the up or down buttons to adjust temperature level from lowest to highest settings. Cooking in the Temperature Mode is recommended when a desired temperature must be maintained.

COOKING WITH INDUCTION INTERFACE DISKS

The Induction Interface Disk (#6010) is an accessory that allows you to use cookware that is not induction-rated (not ferrous or magnetic metal). It acts as an interface between your non-magnetic cookware and the induction cooktop to transfer the heat to the non-magnetic cookware. When cooking in this manner, you can expect efficiency to drop compared to using induction-rated cookware. The benefit is that you don't have to replace your current cookware. Always follow the instructions included with the Induction Interface Disk when using it with the Induction Cooktop unit. Item #6010 is sold separately, and is available on our website at www.aervoe.com.

180-MINUTE AUTOMATIC TIMER

1. To use the automatic timer with either Temperature or Power Mode, press the FUNCTION button until the TIMER light illuminates red and "0" will appear in the LED DISPLAY.
2. Use the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons to set the time. Time increases or decreases by 1 minute each time the increase button is pressed. This allows for quick increase of time and adjustment down if necessary.
3. The time may be adjusted up or down at any time during operation.
4. When the time has expired, the timer will beep and the cooktop will turn off.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Do Not clean with metal souring pads, abrasives, or solvents
• Do Not immerse cord or unit in water or other liquids
• Unplug when not in use and before cleaning

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE & CUSTOMER SERVICE

If after reviewing the troubleshooting guide the problem is not resolved, do not attempt to repair yourself. Contact your dealer or call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-227-0196 for additional information.

After plugging in the power cord, the Power Indicator light does not illuminate and/or the exhaust fan is not running.

• The plug may be loose in the electrical outlet
• Check your circuit breaker. It may be inoperative.

The power indicator light is on, but the fan is not running and the cookware is not heating up.

• The cookware is unsuitable and it is preventing operation (see Selecting the Proper Cookware)
• The pan needs to be centered on the ceramic plate
• The ceramic plate may be cracked

The induction cooktop suddenly stops heating during operation and shuts down.

• The overheating sensor detected an excessive high surface temperature and caused it to automatically shutdown. Heating empty cookware may cause this.
• The air inlet or exhaust fan is blocked and caused it to overheat
• The unit was accidentally unplugged
• The fuse or circuit breaker has malfunctioned

Error code guide:
If an error code appears in the LED display, follow the instructions for the particular problem.

E0 = Cookware Sensor Detection
Proper cookware is not detected.

Remedy: Place correct cookware back on the cooktop within the 30 seconds to reset. Unplug from the power receptacle. Wait one minute and connect power supply and restart unit, assuring first that proper cookware is placed on cooktop.

E01 = Internal Overheat Sensor
Internal temperature exceeds operation limit, cooling fan malfunction, or inadequate ventilation for the cooktop.

Remedy: Unplug from the power receptacle. Make sure that 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 the 120V power receptacle. Make sure the fan is running.

E02 = Glass Cooktop Overheat Sensor
Glass cooking surface temperature exceeds the limit of 450°F (232°C), and shuts down after one minute.

Remedy: Unplug from the power receptacle. Wait 10 minutes for cooktop and cookware to cool down and reconnect to the power receptacle. Restart, checking that the cooling/exhaust fan is running and at least 4" away from any obstruction. If the error continues, try using another size of cookware.

E03 = Incorrect Voltage Sensor
The 120V input power supply is too high or too low voltage and shuts down after one minute.

Remedy: Unplug from the power receptacle. Using voltage sensor, verify that the voltage is 110/120V AC. If not, switch electrical outlets or correct before operating the unit.

Note: If any of the above remedies fail to correct the problem, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-227-0196.

Commonly asked questions

What are the advantages of using an induction cooktop?
The induction cooktop plugs into a standard 110/120-volt outlet. With 1800 watts of power, these cooktops are nearly 50% more powerful than gas stoves and heat nearly twice as fast as electric cooking elements, yet they do not require high amperage electrical lines or 220-volt power.

Is induction cooking more efficient than gas?
The induction cooktop is 83% energy efficient. Gas burners are only 30-35% efficient and butane burners cost $1.65 per hour to operate. Operating an induction cooktop costs only 12 cents per hour.

Is induction cooking safe?
The induction cooktop creates heat only in the cooking pan. There is no open flame or hot cooking element. The ceramic top stays cool, except where it is in contact with the cooking pan.

How much electrical power is needed?
All single burner induction units designed for the U.S. market are capable of operating efficiently on a standard 110/120-volt outlet. However, since each unit will draw about (15 amps), it is strongly recommended that a dedicated outlet be provided for each individual unit being used.

What type of pans can I use?
Pans made from ferrous metals such as cast iron, sheet enameled steel, or magnetic stainless steel work very well (see "Selecting the Proper Cookware").

How does electric and induction cooking compare?
Induction units place the electrical energy directly into the cooking pan. Resistive electric cooking elements use energy to heat the elements and then through conduction, the cooking pan gradually gets hot. Resistive elements are very inefficient and not responsive. Induction cooking is very rapid and responsive to temperature control changes and even faster and more efficient than gas cooking.

Is it easy to use?
The rapid heating of the pan makes warming, sautéing, frying, and pasta cooking fast and easy to do. With no open flame or heating elements, there is no burned-on food to clean. Just wipe the ceramic surface.
