WARNING: When using the PIC, always
follow basic safety precautions:
1. There may be residual heat on the
cooking surface. Do not touch.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do
not immerse cord, plugs, or the PIC in
water or other liquids.
3. Do not operate the PIC with a damaged
cord, plug, after the appliance
malfunctions, or has been damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
4. Close supervision is necessary when
the PIC is used near children. This
appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or who lack experience
or knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
5. The use of accessories not
intended for use with the PIC is not
recommended. Doing so may damage
the PIC and can cause accidents.
6. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. NOT
INTENDED FOR OUTDOOR USE.
7. Do not use the PIC for any purpose
other than its intended use.
8. Do not let cord hang from tables or
countertops, touch hot surfaces, or
come into contact with sharp edges.
9. Do not place the PIC on or near a hot
gas, electric burner, in a heated oven,
or on a stovetop.
10. Never use the cooktop in the proximity
of open res or other heat sources, on
ammable surfaces (e.g., tablecloth,
carpet, etc.), close to any ammable
materials, heating units, or in wet
areas.
11. Do not move the PIC while in
operation, especially with any pots or
pans containing hot oil or other hot
liquids. Remove these from the PIC
and allow it to cool before moving.
12. To disconnect, turn the PIC off and
then remove the plug from the outlet.
13. When removing the plug, do so by
the head, not the cord.
14. Never put the PIC against the wall or
other appliances. There should be at
least 3 inches of free space for the
back, sides, and the top of the PIC.
15. Unplug the PIC from outlet when not in
use and before cleaning. Allow the PIC
to cool before cleaning, putting on or
taking off parts.
16. It is normal for some smoke to escape
the PIC when heating for the rst time.
17. If a lot of smoke is escaping from the
air vent during operation, unplug the
PIC immediately and contact Customer
Service at 1-877-689-2838 or via email
at
help@nuwavenow.com.
18. Place the cooktop on a stable, level,
non-metallic surface.
19. The cooktop’s surface is designed
with temperature-resistant glass. In
the event that damage to the PIC is
observed, even a small crack on the
glass surface, immediately disconnect
the PIC from the power supply.
20. Never use a towel or other material
or object to block the air vents. Do
not block the ventilation slots of the
induction cooktop. This may cause the
PIC to overheat.
21. Make sure the cord is not compressed
beneath the PIC.
22. Do not place devices or objects that
are sensitive to magnetic elds on
top of or next to the PIC, e.g., credit
cards, cellphones, radios, TVs, etc.

SAFEGUARDS & INFORMATION
23. Prior to connecting the PIC, conrm
that the voltage needs indicated
in this manual correspond to the
voltage supply in your home. A wrong
connection may lead to the PIC’s
damage and possible injury to persons.
24. If any trouble arises during operation,
any service MUST be done by NuWave
LLC or authorized by the manufacturer
for repairs.
25. The appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote-control system.
26. Do not disassemble the PIC or replace
any parts without prior written consent
from the manufacturer.
27. Make sure the PIC is always clean prior
to cooking.
28. Use extreme caution when operating
the PIC or any other appliance.
Electrical Information
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use. If a
longer detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it
could be pulled on or tripped over
unintentionally. The PIC should be
operated on a separate electrical
outlet from other operating
appliances due to wattage limitations.
The appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in any
way.
ALWAYS KEEP THIS MANUAL HANDY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

PARTS & ACCESSORIES
PIC Gold
Part #: 30211
Optional PIC Carrying Case
order at www.nuwavenow.com
Induction-Ready Cookware
Induction technology is based on a magnetic
eld distributing heat through ferrous (iron-
based, magnetic) metal. Some cookware
is made of naturally magnetic metals (such
as pure iron), while others are rendered
magnetic by “sandwiching” a thin layer of a
ferrous metal within the base. Examples of
compatible cookware include:
• All NuWave Cookware, NuWave
Duralon®Healthy Ceramic Non-Stick
Cookware
• Cast iron
• Enameled iron and steel
• Stainless-steel with a magnetic base
Incompatible cookware includes:
• Copper
• Glass
• Aluminum
• Pottery-type vessels
Checking Induction Compatibility
There are three simple ways to check if your
existing pots and pans, or future cookware
purchases, are compatible with the PIC
Gold:
1. A magnet is typically a great indicator.
If it sticks to the bottom of a piece of
cookware, this typically means the pot
or pan is induction-ready. However,
sometimes a cooking vessel’s magnetic
properties are not strong enough to work
efficiently with the PIC Gold.
2. Place a small amount of water in a pot or
pan and place it on the PIC Gold while
operating. If it is induction compatible,
water will begin to boil.
3. An induction-ready symbol may be
printed on the bottom of the cookware.

INDUCTION COOKING
The heating surface is located inside the thicker silver ring. The minimum diameter of
acceptable cookware is 3 inches. Always place cookware in the center of the heating
circle. You may use pans measuring up to the 10-inch width of the PIC Gold, but heat
will transfer more slowly to the outer edges. Not recommended for pans larger than 10
inches.
