3.3.2. The Plus/minus buttons can be used to
increase and decrease time or power levels.
3.3.3. The timer button can be used to increase and
decrease the cooking time.
3.3.4. Lock button can be used to lock the induction
cooker settings. To activate the lock function simply
hold the lock button for 5 seconds. This locks the all
settings on the induction cooker. To unlock, simply
hold the lock button for 5 seconds again.
3.4. How does an induction cooker work?
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 elec-
tric 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.
3.5. Cookware selection
Proper Cookware:
Cookware made from a ferrous (or magnetic) metal
Defaul Tem-
or cookware with a base coated with a magnetic/
perature
induction material, such as enamel, cast iron or
165 degrees
stainless steel is required for the induction cooker
to work.
160 degrees
The maximum size cookware that should be used
240 degrees
with this unit is 21cm(base of pot/pan).
240 degrees
Improper Cookware:
240 degrees
Cookware made of ceramic, glass, aluminium and
240 degrees
bronze, cookware with uneven bottom, cookware
with an aluminum encapsulated base will not work
80 degrees
with an induction cooker.
3.6 Once you have finished using the appliance:
3.6.1. Before undertaking any cleaning task, unplug
the power cable from the wall socket.
3.6.2. Do not unplug the power cable while the
induction cooker is switched on. First, press the 'ON
/ OFF' button to switch off the power before unplug-
ging the power cable from the wall socket, this will
extend the life of the induction cooker.
3.6.3. Clean the appliance as described in the clean-
ing section.
4. Cleaning
4.1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains power
supply and allow it to cool completely before under-
taking any cleaning task.
4.2. Wipe the body of the appliance with the soft
damp cloth taking care not to use too much water.
Do not allow water to drip from the cloth onto any
part of the appliance.
4.3. Clean the air inlet and outlet periodically with
soft brush or vacuum cleaner as dust may get
caught in the air inlet or outlet, this will extend the life
of the induction cooker.
4.4. Never place the induction cooker under running
water or immerse it in water or any other liquid.
4.5. Switch the power off when the appliance is not
in use. Only clean the appliance once the cooking
surface has cooled down completely. Do not use the
appliance if the surface is dirty. When the appli-
ance re-heats the dirt will become more difficult to
remove.
