Introduction:
How an induction cooker works:
Induction cooking uses induction heat to directly
heat the cooking vessel, as opposed to heat being
transferred from electrical heating coils or a gas
flame as with a traditional stove.
• An alternating electric current flows through a coil
beneath the cooking surface, which produces an
oscillating magnetic field. This field induces an
•electric current in the pot. Current flowing in the
metal pot produces resistive heating which heats
the food. While the current is large, it is produced
by a low voltage.
•An induction cooker is faster and more energy-
efficient than a traditional electric hob. It allows
instant control of cooking energy similar to gas
burners. Other cooking methods use flames or red-
hot heating elements, where induction heating only
heats the pot. Because only the surface area of the
pot’s base is heated, the possibility of a burn injury
is significantly less than with other methods. The
induction effect does not heat the air around the
vessel, resulting in further energy efficiencies. Only
a little cooling air is blown through the electronics,
which emerges only slightly warmer than ambient
temperature.
•Safety Instructions:
• Place the induction cooker on a flat, stable, heat re-
sistant surface. Do not position it too close to a wall
or other objects. Allow at least 10cm of free space
around the cooker and ensure that the air inlet and
outlets are not obstructed.
• Use a separate wall socket with a minimum capac-
ity of 10A. Do not use plug adaptors or
extension leads.
•Do not use the induction cooker near water. Do not
immerse the appliance or place it under running
water or any other liquid.
•Keep the induction cooker away from a gas stove
and any other heated surfaces. If the ambient tem-
perature is too high, it may activate the induction
cooker’s over-heat protection and the appliance
will switch off.
•Do not operate the induction cooker on a metal
surface.
•Do not switch the appliance on when the cooking
pot you are using is empty, doing so may cause
damage to the induction cooker and the cooking
pot.
•Switching the appliance on without a pot on the
surface will cause the appliance to give a continu-
ous warning beep. Once a pot has been placed
on the cooking surface the beeping will stop and
heating will commence.
•Do not use a cooking pot with an air tight lid.
• Do not insert paper, cloth or any other flammable
material between the crystal plate and the cooking
pot in order to avoid a fire hazard when the induc-
tion cooker is switched on.
• Do not put metal utensils such as a knife, fork,
spoon, etc. on the crystal plate in order to avoid
burns when touching them.
• Only use plastic or wooden non-stick utensils when
cooking on the induction cooker.
• Switch the appliance off when not in use.
• Do not touch the crystal plate immediately after
cooking as it may be hot.
• Do not insert any objects into the air inlet in order
to avoid the risk of electrical shock.
• If the power cord or plug is damaged do not use
the appliance, take the appliance to your nearest
authorized service centre for repair. Do not attempt
to repair the appliance yourself.
• If the crystal plate is cracked, immediately switch
off the appliance and take it to your nearest autho-
rized service centre for repair.
• Individuals with pacemakers should consult their
doctor before use.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervi-
sion or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• Use the appliance in a well ventilated area.
• Do not use the appliance with a timer or other
device that automatically switches it on.
• Do not use or store the appliance outdoors.
• Do not leave the appliance in the rain or exposed
to moisture. If water gets into the appliance, this
