before first use

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material. Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Remove any protective film that may still be on the ceramic plate. Clean the ceramic plate with a damp cloth. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance and plug it in a socket.

operation of the appliance

Use only suitable cookware on the induction cooker. The cookware must have a diameter from 15 to 20 cm. The controls of the cooker respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure. Use the ball of your finger, not its tip. A beep will sound each time a touch is registered. Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
PUT THE POT ON THE CERAMIC PLATE

• Make sure the air vents are not blocked and keep utensils away from the immediate surrounds of the ceramic plate.

•  Make sure the cookware which has food or liquid is placed in the center of ceramic plate.

cookware for induction

Cookware which has been used on other cookers, such as a gas hob, are no longer suitable for use on an induction cooker. Therefore purchase before the first use new cookware if you do not have suitable pans.

•  Requirement for pot materials: containing magnetic inducting materials. Cookware made of steel, enamelled steel, cast iron and stainless steel will give the best results.
•  Use thick, flat smooth bottomed cookware that are the same diameter as the cooking zone. This will help reduce cooking times.
•  Shape requirement for pans: flat bottom, with a diameter more than 15 cm and less than 20 cm. The cooking zone is a circle with the intersection as the center of circle, with a diameter more than 15 cm and less than 20 cm.
•  After the first use, some white spots would appear at the bottom of the pot. This is normal. Please pour some vinegar into the pot, heat it at about 60-80°C, then wipe the spots away with brush.
•  Incompatible pots material: glass, ceramic, aluminium, copper and other non magnetic material.
•  when the pot is removed, the induction cooker will stop heating immediately. After the buzzer sounds for 1 minute, it will go into standby mode automatically.
•  Cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.
•  When using certain pans, you may get various noises from the pans, this is due to the design of the pans and does not effect the performance or safety of the cooker.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

•  Place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If it is switched on before placing any cookware, the cooking zone will not operate.
•  Always use a lid to reduce cooking time.
•  Decrease the temperature/ power level setting when a liquid comes to the boil.
•  Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
•  Select the correct setting for the several cooking options.

cleaning & maintenance

Before cleaning, always make sure the appliance is switched off and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Wait till the cooker plate of the induction cooker is not hot and before cleaning.

•  Do not use abrasive pads, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects to clean the surface of the cooker which are not intended for this purpose.
•  After using the induction cooker for a long time, the opening of air inlet/air outlet will pile up with dust or other dirt, please wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Dust in the air inlet and outlet can be cleaned by using a soft brush or a mini vacuum cleaner. Note: Please do not rinse it with water.
•  Clean the surface daily with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid. Dry thoroughly with kitchen paper or a clean cloth.
•  For oil spots on the cooker plate, wipe the cooker plate by using a soft moist cloth with a little tooth paste or mild detergent. And then use a soft moist cloth to wipe it until no stain remains.
•  When not using it for a long time, please disconnect the power plug from the power outlet and protect the induction cooker from any dust or bugs. Spilt food can be removed by soaking the spot with a damp cloth and some washing-up liquid or a special scraper. Attention: the glass scraper has a razor, therefore, it must be kept away from children.
•  Use a special cleaner for ceramic/induction hobs for difficult stains. Attention: follow the instructions on the product.
