The Waring Pro ICT200 Professional Induction Cooktop is a modern kitchen appliance designed for efficient and safe cooking using induction technology. This cooktop utilizes magnetism to transfer energy directly to the bottom of induction-compatible cookware, resulting in faster heating and cooling compared to conventional burners.
Function Description:
The primary function of the ICT200 is to provide a portable and energy-efficient cooking surface. It operates by generating an electromagnetic field that directly heats the cookware, rather than heating the cooktop surface itself. This method ensures that the cooktop surface remains relatively cooler, reducing the risk of burns and making it easier to clean. The unit is designed for household use and is suitable for a variety of cooking tasks, from simmering to high-heat searing.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model: ICT200
- Rating Voltage: 120V AC/60Hz
- Power Rating: 1600W
- Power Range: 300W–1600W
- Cookware Compatibility: Requires induction-compatible cookware (magnetic stainless steel, enamel, porcelain on steel, or cast iron). Not for use with pans smaller than 4.7" diameter.
- Heat Settings: 8 power selection settings, from Low (1) to High (8).
- Timer: Adjustable up to 150 minutes.
- Maximum Continuous Operation: 180 minutes per use.
Usage Features:
- Easy Operation: To start, place induction-compatible cookware on the glass top and press the ON/OFF button. The unit automatically defaults to the Low setting.
- Heat Control: The cooktop offers eight heat settings, allowing for precise temperature control. Users can adjust the heat level using the up and down arrows on the control panel. An indicator light labeled "HEAT" illuminates when this function is active, and the screen displays the current setting.
- Timer Function: A built-in timer can be set for up to 150 minutes, providing convenience for timed cooking. The "TIMER" indicator light illuminates when active. The timer can be adjusted rapidly by pressing and holding the up or down arrows. At the end of the timed cycle, the unit beeps three times.
- Automatic Shutoff:
- Pan Removal/Incompatibility: If cookware is removed from the cooking surface or if incompatible cookware is detected, the unit will beep and automatically turn off after 30 seconds.
- Overheat Protection: The unit automatically turns off if cookware exceeds its temperature limit, preventing empty pots from burning. If cookware overheats, the unit emits a long beeping sound and shuts off.
- Maximum Operation Time: The cooktop has a maximum continuous operation time of 180 minutes. If the timer is set to exceed this total duration (e.g., setting a 150-minute timer after 30 minutes of operation), the timer function will be shortened, and the unit will turn off after 180 minutes, displaying "OFF."
- Safety Features:
- No Open Flame: Eliminates the risk of burns from an open flame and prevents the release of detrimental gases like carbon monoxide and sulfide.
- Cooler Surface: The cooktop surface does not get as hot as conventional cooktops, reducing the risk of accidental burns. However, caution is advised as the surface can still be hot after use.
- Built-in Surge Protection: Protects the unit from electrical surges.
- Fan Operation: The cooling fan may continue to run for a minute or more after the unit is turned off to dissipate residual heat.
- Energy Efficiency: Uses up to 70% less energy than conventional cooktops, contributing to lower energy consumption.
Maintenance Features:
- Easy to Clean: The high-rigidity glass faceplate and the absence of grates or carbon buildup make cleaning simple. Since the heat is transferred directly to the cookware, there is no scorching heat going up the sides of pots, keeping cookware cleaner longer.
- Cleaning Procedure: To clean the control panel, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For the cooktop surface, a non-abrasive cooktop cleaning product (specifically designed for smooth tops) is recommended.
- Servicing: Any servicing beyond basic cleaning should be performed by an authorized service representative to ensure safety and proper function.
- Storage: When storing the appliance, especially in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet to prevent fire risks.
