Installation

Maintain a distance of 15cm (6 inches) between the appliance and walls or other objects.

Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is a very efficient method of cooking as it reduces heat loss between the pan and the atmosphere by as much as 40%. This makes it extremely energy efficient, as well as offers immediate heat-up, unlike traditional heating methods which require time to get to temperature.
The Induction cooker works by creating a magnetic field within suitable cookware, which causes an instant build-up of heat to cook the food.

Cookware

Suitable cookware includes:

  • All magnetic pans
  • Mild steel or plain steel (black iron) pans
  • Enamelled/non-enameled cast iron and iron pans
  • Cookware diameter: 12cm – 20cm

Unsuitable cookware includes:

  • Cookware with a diameter of less than 12cm
  • Ceramic or glass cookware
  • Stainless steel with no/weak magnetism, aluminum, bronze, or copper cookware unless marked as suitable for induction cooking
  • Cookware with feet
  • Cookware with a rounded bottom (e.g. wok)

Operation

  1. Connect the appliance to the main power supply.

  2. Place suitable cookware on the center of the glass plate.
    Note: Never place empty cookware on the appliance.

  3. Turn the dial to the desired power as indicated on the display.

  4. If the pan is removed or the wrong type of pan is used, the appliance will make a beeping noise and switch off after approximately 60 seconds.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

Disconnect from the power supply and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.

  • Use warm, soapy water and a damp cloth to clean the appliance.
  • DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or pads.
  • Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
  • There is a removable air filter on the bottom of the appliance. Pull it out of its slot and clean with a vacuum cleaner.

Troubleshooting

A qualified technician should carry out repairs if required.
