Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and
save them for future reference.
◗ As the appliance largely works by means of heat radiation,
virtually any type of pan can be used, e.g. glass, stainless steel,
aluminium, ceramic, earthenware and non-stick coated pans.
To achieve the best result, use pans with a flat base and a nonreflective outer surface to ensure highest efficiency in heat
transmission.
◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to
the local mains voltage befoe you connect the appliance.
◗ If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a
service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
◗ Do not allow the mains cord to come into contact with the plate
and the pan standing on the plate when they are hot.
◗ Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
◗ Leave a free space of about 10cm around the appliance to prevent
damage due to radiated heat.
◗ Place the pan properly in the centre of the plate. Be careful: the
handgrips of small pans may become hot.
◗ Do not put plastic containers or aluminium foil on the plate when
it is hot.
◗ If you detect any cracks or fissures in the plate, stop using the
appliance right away, unplug it and contact the nearest Philips
service centre.
◗ Pans, especially cast-iron and enamel pans, may have ridges or
burrs on the bottom that may cause scratches on the surface of
the plate when the pan is moved.
◗ To prevent permanent marks from developing on the plate, make
sure pans are dry on the outside before placing them on the
plate. If water or anything else splashes onto the plate, wipe it off
the plate immediately.
◗ Do not drop hard objects on the plate, as this may lead to
breakage.
◗ Keep the hot appliance away from meltable and flammable
materials.
