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
•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
•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
