Use only with induction-compatible cookware. 5. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. 6. Dry outside of pan before use. 7. Do not heat empty pan. 8. Don't spill any liquids into vent areas. 9. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs or housing unit in water or other liquids. 10.
