be followed:
1. Read all instructions before operation.
2. ANY PERSON WITH A PACEMAKER MUST REMAIN AT A MINIMUM
DISTANCE OF 5 FEET FROM THE COOKTOP WHILE IT IS TURNED

CAN ALTER OR INTERFERE WITH THE PROPER FUNCTION OF A
PACEMAKER. IN ADDITION, ANY PERSON WITH A PACEMAKER
SHOULD CLARIFY WITH THEIR DOCTOR IF SPECIAL HANDLING
STEPS ARE NECESSARY.
3. People with elevated electrical sensitivity should not remain in
the immediate vicinity of the appliance.
4. Do not place any magnetic objects (such as credit cards,data
carriers, etc.) on or in the immediate vicinity of the appliance.

so that the bottom of the pot covers as much of the
electromagnetic field as possible.
6. DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
7. This appliance should not be used by or near children, or
individuals with certain disabilities.
8. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCE.

unit, and contact MegaChef at 424-543-1628 for information
about warranty and repair.
14. Only qualified electricians employed and trained by the
manufacturer may carry out any repairs to this appliance. Do
not carry out repairs on the appliance; carrying out repairs on
the appliance will void the warranty. If the appliance is defective
or presents any sign of damages, call MegaChef immediately
at 424-543-1628.
15. Do not use outdoors.
16. Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces or hang over
sharp edges such as those on countertops.
17. Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or heated oven.
18. Always connect the power cord to the appliance prior to
plugging it into the wall outlet. Ensure that the appliance has
been turned off before unplugging it from the wall outlet.
19. Unplug from the wall outlet by pulling the plug and not the cord.
20. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse any part
of this appliance in water or other liquids. Do not place in a
dishwasher.

6 | IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS | MC-1400
26. To prevent the risk of electrocution, do not insert objects into the
opening of the appliance.
27. Do not plug this appliance to a wall outlet to which other
appliances are already connected.
28. Although the cooktop itself does not produce heat during the
cooking process, the residual heat of the cookware will heat up
the surface and it may become extremely hot. Always protect
your hands whenever using a hot appliance by using heat
insulating gloves , dish cloths and the likes.
29. NEVER heat food or liquids in sealed containers such as cans.
The container may burst due to high internal pressure. Always
open the can or sealed container and transfer its content to an
induction compatible pot or pan prior to heating up on the cooktop.
30. To avoid the risk of fire, remove all easily inflammable items (such as
detergents, aerosols, cans, cloths, etc.) from the immediate vicinity of
the appliance whenever in use.
31. Avoid overheating oils and fats for extended periods of time as
overheated oil and fat can ignite rapidly.
32. Do not place or operate the cooktop with empty cookware to
prevent the risk of fire.
33. Do not move the appliance during operation or with hot cookware
placed on the hot plate.
34. Ensure that the cookware is properly centered on the cooktop and
that it isn’t sitting on the control panel or frame.
35. In order to prevent overheating, do not place any aluminum foil or
metal panels on the surface of the appliance.
36. Keep the cooktop and underside of the cookware clean and dry
at all times. If liquid gets between the base of the cookware and the
cooktop, this liquid can vaporize and the resulting pressure can cause
the cookware to jump into the air with a resulting risk of injury.
37. The maximum permissible weight of the pot plus its content should not
exceed 13.25 lbs./6 kgs.
38. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

PREVENTING RADIO INTERFERENCES
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The cooktop can cause interference with radios, televisions
and similar appliances. Interferences can be removed or
reduced by using the following measures:
• Place radios, televisions and similar appliances as far away
from the cooktop as possible.
• Connect the appliance to a different socket, so different
electric circuits are being used for the appliance and the
receiver experiencing interference.
• Use a correctly installed aerial for your receiver in order to
ensure good reception (if applicable).
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency data on the
induction cooktop rating plate (at the bottom of the
appliance) matches that of the wall outlet. If in doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
• To reduce the risk of fire, the use of a multi-plug outlet
adapter is not recommended.
• Inspect the power cord for damage and ensure it doesn’t
run under the appliance or over hot or sharp surfaces.
• The electrical safety of the appliance is only guaranteed
if it is connected to a properly installed fused system. The
use of the appliance without a fuse is prohibited. If in
doubt, consult a qualified electrician. MegaChef cannot
be made responsible for damages due to a missing or
damaged protective conductor.

• If an extension cord is used, its electrical rating must be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord should be arranged so that it does
not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.
• When using an extension cord, always ensure that the
entire cable is unwound from the reel.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) ; this
plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet in only one way.
If the plug does not fit properly and/or fully, reverse the
plug and try again.
