Warnings
ATTENTION :
Read this booklet carefully it contains important instructions for a safe
installation, use and maintenance.
Important instructions to be kept for future reference.
The following basic precautions should always be followed when using
electrical appliances:
-
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
The Appliance -
This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any use NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
-
The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered responsible.
-
Before use, check the integrity of the appliance (particularly, the integrity of the Crystal Plate – which is the top glossy surface) and power cable. DO NOT operate the appliance when its housing is damaged. In case you are not sure, contact a qualified person. If the Crystal Plate or power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock hazard.
-
Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency) corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance, and that the wall socket is properly grounded.
-
Avoid the use of adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary, use only materials in compliance with the current safety regulations and whose marked electrical rating should be at least as high as the electrical rating of the appliance. To prevent overloading and blown fuses, ensure that no other high powered appliance is plugged into the same socket.
-
The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote control appliances, which are not specified in this manual.
-
Only use original components & accessories provided by the manufacturer. Any non-original component or accessory NOT recommended by the manufacturer (including, but not limited to, the Plate, pots and pans made of plastic, wood, etc. or with round bottoms instead of flat bottoms, made by other manufacturers or by the same manufacturer but for other models of the same capacity or otherwise) may cause injuries to persons or damage to the appliance. Doing so will void the warranty and may cause serious injury.
Remember: If you have to use other utensils, Only Stainless steel flat-based pots & pans with a diameter between 12 cm to 26 cm are usable. -
The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources of danger.
Location -
This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame, ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
-
The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of objects, which can be damaged by heat, such as carpets, curtains, textiles or plastics. DO NOT use the appliance when placed in a closed cabinet. During operation, as heat is transferred away from the appliance, the surface that the appliance is placed upon as well the surface immediately above or adjacent to it may become very hot. There should be at least 10 cm of free space from the back, left & right sides and at least 20 cm from the top of the utensil (pot, pan, etc.) placed on the Crystal Plate to allow adequate air circulation. DO NOT locate multiple portable socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the appliance. If the appliance is operated on wooden furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.
-
Avoid placing the power cable (and extension cable, if used) on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it can be damaged easily. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. The cable must NOT be placed under carpets, or covered with throw rugs, runners or similar. Arrange the cable away from the high traffic area, and where it will NOT be tripped over. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the cable.
-
DO NOT allow the power cable of the appliance to fall across the Crystal Plate. In addition, when using another electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the appliance, ensure that the power cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the Crystal Plate. The insulation on the cable could become damaged.
-
DO NOT use or store the appliance outdoors. Store and use the appliance only indoors, or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of the sun and dust.
Operation -
If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:
a. Clean the appliance with a damp cloth, and immediately wipe dry.
DO NOT use metal scouring pads.
b. Add oil, grease or water into the utensil (pot, pan, etc.) on top of the Crystal Plate first. DO NOT heat an empty utensil. Not doing this may lead to burning or scarring it. Hereby “utensil” is regarded as any container i.e. pot, pan, etc.
placed onto the Crystal Plate.
c. Plug the power cable into the electric socket and switch it on. Press the ON/OFF button followed by one of 4 buttons (Soup, Fry, BBQ, Hot Pot). Heating commences. You can add food and liquids into the utensil as the cooking proceeds.
d. Press the ON/OFF button after you have finished cooking. The appliance will stop heating immediately and the screen will display “_____”. DO NOT switch the appliance off by pressing the wall switch. If you do, the appliance will shut off and so will the fan. If you press the ON/OFF button, the fan will continue to work until the unit cools down.
e. Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper functioning.
DO NOT:
● cover the appliance e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present;
● obstruct totally nor partially the air inlet & outlet;
● insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;
● switch the appliance on if the utensil is dry – however, should the utensil be found dry during operation, immediately remove the utensil from the Crystal Plate and press the ON/OFF button. DO NOT switch the appliance off. The fan will continue to work until the unit cools down;
● slide utensils into place on the Crystal Plate as this can cause scuffs and scratches. Instead, lift utensils into position on the plate;
● place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, lids, etc. or combustible materials (paper, cloth, sugar, plastic, aluminium foil, etc.) on the Crystal Plate as they can damage the plate. If this should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the residues whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. After the appliance had cooled down, clean the plate with a suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent;
● place hot items on the Control Panel as this could cause damage to the electronics underneath;
● touch the Crystal Plate of the appliance when in operation or just after switching it off as it will still be very hot and may cause scalding;
● drop anything on the Crystal Plate. Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances. -
During (and immediately after) the period of operation, high temperature steam may escape from the utensil. To avoid scalding:
DO NOT
● fill liquids beyond 80% of the maximum volume if you are using a pot;
● remove the lid while heating & ensure that the lid is tightly closed during heating if you are using a pot;
● add food with its packaging (plastic wrapper, paper, foil, metal can, etc.) still attached without first removing the packaging;
● heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars on the Crystal Plate, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to explode;
● move the appliance while in operation or when utensils are on the Crystal plate;
● remove the utensil during heating. Wait until heating has completed, press the ON/OFF button and then remove the utensil carefully;
● touch the Crystal Plate of the appliance except the Control Panel buttons or the Power Knob when in operation or just after switching it off as it will still be very hot and may cause scalding Always wear protective, insulated oven gloves when in contact with the utensil. DO NOT let the gloves get wet as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself. The bottom of the cooker becomes exceedingly hot as the cooker operates;
● direct steam at any person or animal & one’s hands and face should be angled away from the utensil (especially if it has a vapor hole) at all times;
● leave the appliance unsupervised during operation, especially when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil and fat ignites, DO NOT attempt to put the flames out with water. Press the ON/OFF button and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames. -
During operation, DO NOT touch the appliance with wet body parts, and it is recommended to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating element (for example, wearing shoes with rubber soles).
-
DO NOT soak the appliance in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let any liquid flow into the internal casing of the appliance to prevent electric shock. In case of accidental fall in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but first of all switch the appliance off.
-
Switch the wall switch OFF before unplugging the appliance. Plug and unplug the power cable firmly holding it with dry hands. Always unplug the power cable to avoid overheating and if it is NOT used for a long period, before storing, assembling & disassembling, cleaning or performing any maintenance operation. Before storing, cleaning or performing any maintenance operation, leave to cool for at least 30 minutes.
-
In case of malfunction or anomaly during the functioning, such as smoke coming out of the appliance, switch the wall switch OFF and unplug the power cable from the wall socket. Remove any utensil placed on the Crystal Plate away from the cooker and check the cause of the anomaly, if possible, with the support of a qualified person.
