Here are some hopefully useful instructions for the Varcul 1300W Portable Electric Induction Cooktop:
1) Plug in the cord. The unit will turn on into STANDBY mode by displaying "- - - - - - -".
3) Put an induction pot on the stove and press in the big round knob once to activate the cooktop. The display will show "00:00". If it displays "E0" then be sure there's an induction pan on the cooktop and hit the knob again. If it still displays "E0" then your pot/pan is not an induction pot/pan. Induction cooktops conduct electricity into magnetic pots/pans using a changing magnetic field. To check your pan, put a magnet to the bottom of it. If the magnet doesn't cling then the pan's not magnetic and won't work here.
4) Twist the knob a little (yes you might need to do this) then touch the Function button. A light will appear next to HOT POT (should be called "WATTS") and the wattage will be displayed starting at 1300 watts. Touch the Function button again to go to FRY (should be called "TEMP") if you want the display in Celsius temperature starting at 270°. Touch again to go to TASTE (should be called "LOW/LONG") to display the wattage starting at 800 watts. Twisting the knob will then change that wattage or temperature.
5A) TIMER SETTING: To set the timer, touch the TEMP/TIMER button for 3 seconds until 02:00 appears then turn the knob to set the timer from 1 minute (00:01) to 2 hours (02:00) in HOT POT or FRY function, and from 1 minute (00:01) to 24 hours (24:00) in TASTE function. The default is 2 hours (02:00). The display will thereafter slowly alternate between remaining time and wattage/temperature until that time expires. When time expires, the unit will beep 5 times, go to STANDBY mode displaying "- - - - - - -", and run the fan to cool the unit for a few minutes.
5B) LOW TEMP SETTING: In TASTE function, touch the TEMP/TIMER button for just 1 second until the temperature 80° displays there (if time or wattage appears, try again). Then you can turn down the temperature to 30° (hot plate/warmer setting?). Since water boils at 100° it will never boil at this temp; just keeps things warm.
6) At any time, to turn the heat off and go to STANDBY, press the knob in again and the display will show "- - - - - - ". The fan will run for a few minutes until the unit cools down.
7) When the unit has cooled down, unplug the cord to actually turn the unit off.
I like the timer function, that there are many, small increments, and that it cools down quickly after using. I originally gave this cooktop 3 stars but after discovering the instructions by trial and error I've learned to love it.

Execelent cooktop
I do not usually give good review but this item surprised me a lot, it is what I was hoping and more. I checked a lot similar cook-top including Ikea Tilldera but was too bulky and huge, I got in love of the Xiaomi one but did not work with 110W, others were also very high energy consumption and most of other brands where rectangular size which takes a lot of counter space. This Varcul offered me all that I was looking for with the great good looking.I was a little sceptical at the beginning because did not have much reviews but the ones it has are good, so I gave it a chance because I know not because it is affordable does not mean that it is cheap.It has 3 types of cooking setup each of them you can decrease or increase heat, it will not work unless you put the pan on top, so it is quite smart with that feature. It is not noisy, it sounds like a pedestal fan in the room. Also the timer is super useful.It brought water to boil in less than a minute, I got quite surprise of how efficient, silence and great in all ways, also it is really easy to clean, so far no complains.
