BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE

• Carefully read all instructions before

operation and save for future reference.

• Remove and safely discard any

packaging material and promotional
labels before using the Breville
induction cooker for the first time.

• To eliminate a choking hazard for young

children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted over the pins of
the power plug when unpacking this
appliance for the first time.

• Do not place the appliance near the

edge of a bench top, counter or table
during operation. Ensure that the
surface is level, clean and free of water
and other substances.

• Do not place this appliance on a hot

gas or electric burner, or where it could
touch a heated oven.

• Always operate the induction cooker on a

dry, stable and heat resistant surface. Do
not use on a cloth-covered surface, near
curtains or other flammable materials.

• Position the induction cooker clear of

walls, and other heat sensitive materials
such as cloths and curtains. Minimum of
200mm distance.

• Do not use this appliance on a sink

drain board.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended

when in use.

• Always ensure the induction cooker is

properly assembled before use. Follow
the instructions provided in this book.

• If the appliance is not in use for an

extended period, disconnect the
appliance from the power outlet.

4

• Use only cooking saucepans and pots

suitable for use with an induction cooker.

• Extreme caution must be used when

the appliance is in use with an
induction safe cooking saucepan.
Do not move the appliance during
cooking or while a saucepan remains
on the induction cooker.

• Do not operate the appliance in the

vicinity of magnetically sensitive objects
(eg magnetic cards).

• The outer surface will be hot when the

appliance is operating and for some time
after use.

• The appliance is not intended to be

operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control system.

• The temperature of accessible surfaces

will be high when the appliance is
operating and for some time after use.

• Do not place anything on top of the

appliances surface (except induction
cooker pots and pans) when in use and
when stored.

• Do not place metallic utensils, non-

compatible induction cookware, lids,
knives, forks, spoons or other metallic
objects on the induction cooker glass
ceramic plate, as these may be heated
and become hot when the appliance is
switched on.

• Do not insert sharp objects into the

ventilation system.

• To avoid overheating, do not place

any aluminium foil or metal plates on
the appliance.

• Do not touch the hot surface of the glass

ceramic plate. The induction cooker
does not heat up itself during cooking,
but the temperature of the cookware
heats up the glass ceramic plate.

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

• Do not heat any opened or unopened

cans on the induction cooker.

• Always switch the on/off switch to the

off position, switch the appliance off at
the power outlet, then unplug the power

edge of a table or bench, touch hot
surfaces or become knotted.

• 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
supervision 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.

• It is recommended to regularly inspect

the appliance. Do not use the appliance
if the power supply cord, plug or

cleaners or oven cleaners when cleaning
this appliance.

• The installation of a residual current

device (safety switch) is recommended
to provide additional safety protection
when using electrical appliances. It
is advisable that a safety switch with
a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA be installed in
the electrical circuit supplying the
appliance. See your electrician for
professional advice.

INDUCTION COOKING

with your Breville the Quick Time

™

PAGE HEADER.....INDUCTION COOKING

WHAT IS INDUCTION COOKING?

An induction cooker creates an
electromagnetic field to heat the cooking
saucepan/pot. Very little energy is wasted
heating the glass ceramic plate, as most of
the heat is transferred directly to the food.

As the majority of the heat is absorbed
by the saucepan/pot, the cooking surface
remains cooler to the touch than most
traditional cooktops making cooking fast,
safe and energy efficient.

Induction
Cookware

Heat is generated
in the pot.

Magnetic Field

Power Coil

SUITABLE COOKWARE FOR
INDUCTION COOKING

To achieve maximum efficiency, it is
essential to use the correct type of
saucepans/pot.

NOTE

All saucepan/pot’s require a base
diameter between 12cm to 21cm to
operate the induction cooker.

Unsuitable saucepan/pot’s are;

• Ceramic

• Heat resistant glassware

• Any pottery

• Copper or aluminium

• With feet

• With a curved based

• With a base diameter less than 12cm

A Breville induction safe 18/8 stainless steel
20cm casserole pot has been included with
your induction cooker to get you started.

The pot base is made of a high quality
aluminium core sandwiched between two
layers of solid stainless steel.

Ergonomic handles are also made of solid
stainless steel with silicon covers for heat
protection.

Most suitable saucepan/pot’s are;

• Stainless Steel with an iron base or core

• Cast iron

• With ferrous metals

(one that can be magnetised)

• Induction compatible cookware
