3.2.10. If you have chosen either of the above cook-
ing functions, power or temperature, you are able to
incorporate the cooking timer function(clock). To do
this, you simply select your cooking function, as ex-
plained in 3.2.8 and 3.2.9, and then press the time
function button(clock). You are no able to select
how long you want the induction cooker to cook for.
Easily increase or decrease the cooking time by us-
ing the + and – buttons. The timer can be adjusted
in increments of 1 (0min to 3 hours). Once you
have reached your desired cooking time, wait for the
screen to flash 4 times. Then the cooking time is set
in and will no longer flash.
3.2.11. If the timer is not used in the cooking pro-
cess, the user needs to manually stop the cooking
process by pressing the power button.
3.2.12. If the timer function is used during the cook-
ing process, the induction cooker will automatically
stop cooking when the timer has run down com-
pletely and reaches 0 minutes. NB! This does not
mean the induction cooker is completely switched
off. The only way there is no power to the unit, is if
the induction cooker in unplugged from your power
supply.
3.2.13. During the cooking process, the display
screen will show the power, temperature and time
(if selected).
3.2.14. Lock button can be used to lock the induc-
tion cooker settings. To activate the lock function
simply hold the lock button for 3 seconds. This
locks the all settings on the induction cooker. To
unlock, simply hold the lock button for 3 seconds
again.
3.3 Once you have finished using the appliance:
3.3.1. Before undertaking any cleaning task, unplug
the power cable from the wall socket.
3.3.2. 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.
3.3.3. 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
undertaking 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 difficulty to
remove.
5. Anomalies and repair
5.1. Take the appliance to an authorised support
centre if product is damaged or other problems
arise.
5.2. If the connection to the mains has been dam-
aged, it must be replaced, and you should proceed
as you would in the case of damage.
6. 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 flow 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 like 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."
