IH cooking heaters (hereinafter referred to as "IH") are safe products if used according to the instruction manual. However, there is a risk of fire if handled incorrectly.
When a cardboard box was placed on the radiant heater (note) installed in the IH, the radiant heater switch was accidentally pressed, igniting the cardboard and causing a fire.
(Note) A radiant heater is not a magnetic force, but heat is transferred to the pot by heating the heater part, so the heater part gets hot. Therefore, it is possible to use non-metal pots such as aluminum, glass, and earthen pots, and the heating power is about the same as the medium heat of a gas stove.
