Technical Specifications

Usage and Maintenance Instructions

To get the best performance from your Walton Infrared Cooker, ensure it is placed on a dry, level, and heat-resistant surface with adequate ventilation around the unit. Always use flat-bottomed cookware to ensure maximum contact with the heating surface for optimal thermal efficiency.

Cleaning the cooker is straightforward. After use, wait for the glass surface to cool down completely before wiping it with a soft, damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or scouring pads, as these can damage the glass finish. Periodically ensure the ventilation intake at the bottom of the unit is free from dust or obstructions.

Safety and Cautions

The glass surface of the infrared cooker remains hot for some time after the unit is turned off; always wait for the surface to cool completely before touching it or attempting to move the unit. Do not submerge the cooker in water or other liquids. Ensure the electrical cord is kept away from the heating surface and sharp edges. If you notice any cracks on the glass, cease usage immediately and contact an authorized service center.
