TRUE INDUCTION TI-2BN (01) PDF Document

To install your TRUE INDUCTION TI-2BN cooktop, follow these steps:

Step 1. Cut a rectangle hole in the countertop with the dimensions of 22″ x 14 1/4″.

Step 2. Ensure the cut-out is placed at least 2 1/2″ from any side of the countertop.

Step 3. For a flush mounting installation, use a router tool to round the corners of the hole with an outside radius of .4″.

Step 4. Feed the power wire through the hole to the location of the power receptacle underneath the cabinet.

Step 5. The cooktop comes with a pre-installed foam gasket. Peel off the adhesive protector on the bottom of the gasket.

Step 6. Set the induction cooker into the cut-out. Gently press down on the cooktop to secure the adhesive gasket to the countertop.

Step 7. For RV use, it is recommended to apply butyl tape instead of the supplied foam tape for adequate adhesion and to allow for removal if the unit needs to be serviced.

For proper air circulation and to prevent overheating of your TRUE INDUCTION TI-2BN, you must allow at least 3 inches of clearance from the bottom of the induction cooker to any shelving or storage below it. The underside of the countertop should not be closed off from the cabinetry underneath to ensure better air flow. Be sure not to block either the air intake or exhaust vents on the bottom of the unit.

When using the TRUE INDUCTION TI-2BN, it is essential to heed all safety precautions:

• When the unit is on, do not touch outside the control panel as the surface may contain residual heat.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord plugs or the cooker in water or other liquids.

• Close supervision is strongly suggested when using the appliance around children.

• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if it has been damaged in any manner.

• Do not cook on a broken or damaged cooktop, as spillovers may penetrate the surface and create a risk of electric shock.

• Do not use accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not let the power cord dangle over the edge of a table or counter. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces.

• Do not place the cooktop on or near a hot gas burner, electric burner, or heated oven.

• Allow for sufficient space around the cooking area for optimal fan ventilation.

• Items with a magnetic field such as radios, televisions, credit cards, and cassette tapes can affect the unit.

• The power cord’s electrical rating should be at least as great as the appliance’s rating. Arrange the cord so it will not drape over the countertop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

• Do not use with empty pans or pots.

• Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, lids, cans, or aluminum foil on the cooktop.

• The appliance has a polarized plug. If it does not fit fully, reverse the plug. Do not attempt to modify the plug.

• The unit’s surface will remain hot for a short period after use.

• Disconnect power and allow the unit to cool before performing any maintenance or repairs.

• Clean the cooktop with caution. Do not clean while the unit is still hot, as some cleaners produce steam or fumes if applied to a heated surface.

• Do not use the cooktop for any purpose other than directed by the manufacturer.

Step 1. Plug the power plug into a standard outlet. The Power button will light up and the unit will sound to indicate it is on.

Step 2. The device will be in standby mode, awaiting user direction.

Step 3. Place ferromagnetic cookware (with water, oil, or food already inside) on the center of the glass-ceramic top.

Step 4. Press the Power button on the control panel to turn the cooktop on. The power display will blink and sound another indicator.

Step 5. Press the Heat function key once. The pre-set power level “5” is the default selection.

Step 6. Use the +/- keys to change the heat settings at any time, ranging from 1 to 10. This is considered the HEAT function.

The Power Invariance Technology on the TRUE INDUCTION TI-2BN manages the power distribution when both burners are in use. The maximum power of an individual burner is setting 10. However, when operating both burners simultaneously, their combined total power level is 14.

• If you increase the power of one burner, the power output of the other burner will automatically reduce. For example, if one burner is at level 6, the other burner will automatically reduce its power to level 8, maintaining the maximum combined total of 14.

• If one burner is using the HEAT function and the other burner is using the TEMP settings, the maximum HEAT setting available is “9”.

You can use the +/- keys to change the temperature settings on your TRUE INDUCTION TI-2BN at any time. The settings range from 150°F to 450°F. The exact temperature settings available are: 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, 420, and 450°F.

Step 1. After selecting the HEAT or TEMP mode, press the TIMER button once. The display will show the number “0.”

Step 2. Use the +/- keys to select the operating time. The timer can be set in 5-minute intervals up to a maximum of 150 minutes, and can be reduced by 1 minute increments.

Step 3. The display will count down the duration in minutes. Once the time is up, the unit will sound and automatically go into standby mode. To continue cooking, press the Power button and Heat button to restart.

Additional Timer Features:

• You can change the timer duration at any time with the arrow keys. The device’s memory will maintain the previously entered HEAT or TEMP setting.

• You can change the HEAT or TEMP settings without affecting the current timer setting.

• During the timer countdown, the display shows only the HEAT or TEMP setting. To check the remaining time, press the TIMER button once, and it will be displayed for 5 seconds.

The TRUE INDUCTION TI-2BN cooktop is designed with a built-in safety feature that automatically shuts the unit off after 150 minutes of continuous use. This auto shut off function works for both the HEAT and TEMP settings. If the cooking zone is still hot after shutting off, the display will show an “H”. If your food requires further cooking, you can easily turn the unit back on and re-set it to your desired setting.

When you are finished cooking, simply press the Power button to turn off the machine. Upon completion of cooking, the internal fan may remain on until the unit is cool.

The TRUE INDUCTION TI-2BN requires pots and pans made of ferrous (magnetic) materials. To check if your cookware is compatible, hold a magnet to the bottom; if the magnet sticks, your cookware is ready for use.

Optimal cookware has a flat bottom and a diameter between 4.72″ and 10.24″. Round, flat-bottomed pans provide the best results. For wok cooking, use a flat-bottom wok without a support ring.

The following types of cookware are NOT compatible with the TRUE INDUCTION TI-2BN:

• Heat-resistant glass

• Ceramic

• Copper

• Aluminum pans/pots

• Round-bottomed cookware

• Cookware with a base less than 4.72 inches in diameter

• Pans with warped or curved bottoms will not heat evenly.

Step 1. Before cleaning, always switch OFF the device and wait for it to cool down completely.

Step 2. Clean the unit after each use to remove food residues.

Step 3. Wipe the glass-ceramic plate and the plastic surface with a slightly damp cloth. Micro-fiber cloths work best. Dishwashing soap may be used when necessary.

Step 4. Ensure that no water seeps into the device. Never use abrasive cleaners (like metal pads) or oil-based liquids. Never run the cooktop under water.

Step 5. A vacuum cleaner attachment may be used to suck up dirt from the air intake and exhaust vents.
