IH cooking heaters (hereinafter referred to as "IH") are safe products if used according to the instruction manual. However, if handled incorrectly, there is a risk of fire.
A cardboard box was placed on top of the radiant heater (note) installed in an IH, and the radiant heater switch was accidentally pressed, causing the cardboard to catch fire and cause a fire.
(Note) A radiant heater transfers heat to the pot by heating the heater part, not by magnetic force, so the heater part becomes hot. Therefore, you can use non-metal pots such as aluminum, glass, and earthenware pots, and the heat output is about the same as the medium heat of a gas stove, and this heater is often set as a preliminary setting as the third heater in a 3-burner IH.
