Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is a very efficient method of cooking as it reduces heat loss between the pan and the
atmosphere by as much as 40%. This makes it extremely energy efficient, as well as offering immediate
heat-up, unlike traditional heating methods which require time to get to temperature.

The Induction cooker works by creating a magnetic field within suitable cookware, which causes an
instant build-up of heat to cook the food.

Installation

Place the unit on a heat-resistant surface. Avoid placing it on or close to easy flammable materials.
Maintain a distance of 20cm (7 inches) between the appliance and walls or other objects for ventilation.
