INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new appliance, please read this user
guide carefully before using it for the first time. Take particular
note of the safety precautions. We also recommend that you
keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can
remind yourself of the functions of your appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• The appliance may only be used for its original purpose.
• The appliance is for indoor use only.
• The appliance does not itself generate heat, but the heat
from the pan used is transferred to the ceramic surface of
the appliance, which can therefore get hot during use and
may take a while to cool down afterwards.
• Do not leave objects that may be damaged by a magnetic
field (e.g. credit cards), close to the appliance when it is in
use.
• Do not place anything on the appliance other than the pan
that is to be used. Magnetic metal objects will get hot if
they are placed on the induction cooker when it is switched
on.
• Use only pans that are suitable for induction cookers.
• Do not switch the appliance on unless there is a pan on it.
• Use only pans with diameters that fit that of the cooker.
Always place the pan in the middle of the cooker.
• Never heat up an empty pan on the appliance.
• The appliance, cord or plug must not be submerged in
water or allowed to get wet.
• Do not use the appliance if the cord or plug is damaged, if
it is not functioning properly, or if it has been damaged by a
heavy impact or similar.
• Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the appliance
when it is in use.
• Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning, or when
not in use.
• Never try to repair the appliance yourself.
• If the appliance, cable or plug needs to be repaired,
it should be taken to an authorised service centre.
Unauthorised repairs or modifications to the appliance will
invalidate the guarantee. Please contact the store where
you bought the appliance for repairs under guarantee.
Positioning the appliance
• The appliance should be placed on a flat surface, with
clearance of at least 10 cm on all sides (including the rear)
to ensure sufficient ventilation. Check that the vent holes
are not covered. If they are covered while the appliance is in
use, there is a risk of it overheating.
• Place the appliance at a safe distance from hot objects, e.g.
a cooker or a fan heater.
• The appliance should not be placed on rugs, cloths or
other flammable materials, but instead on firm fibreboard or
similar.
• Do not allow the cord or any extension cable to hang over
the edge of a table/counter, and keep it away from hot
objects and naked flames.

HOW THE APPLIANCE FUNCTIONS
Function principle
• The appliance uses magnetism instead of heat to cook
food. The cooker contains what is known as an “induction
coil”. When the appliance is switched on, power is sent to
the induction coil, which creates a powerful magnetic field.
The magnetic field creates eddy currents in the base of the
pan, which are converted into heat energy, heating up the
contents of the pan.
• Induction cookers are more energy efficient than traditional
cookers, as they have a thermal efficiency of more than 85
%, which also makes them very environment-friendly. The
appliance reacts rapidly when you turn the heat up or down
– almost like a gas cooker.
Suitable cooking pans
The following pans can be used on the appliance:
• Pans made of iron, cast iron, enamelled iron or stainless
steel (if it is magnetic). The pan must have a level base, and
its diameter at the base must be the same as that of the
cooker, or it must be over 12 cm.
• You can use a small magnet to test whether or not your
pan is suitable for use with induction cookers. If the pan is
magnetic, it can be used.
Unsuitable pans
The following pans cannot be used on the appliance:
• Pans made of ceramic, glass, aluminium, copper and non-
magnetic stainless steel; pans with an uneven (convex)
base or with feet; or pans with a diameter at the base that is
greater than that of the cooker or less than 12 cm.
• If you place an unsuitable pan on the cooker and switch the
appliance on, it beeps every two seconds to indicate that
the selected pan is not suitable for induction cookers.
