Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benet

from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips. com/welcome. The induction cooker works on the basis of an electromagnet that creates

a powerful, high-frequency electromagnetic eld. When cookware consisting

of magnetic material (e.g. iron) is placed on the induction cooker, the

electromagnetic eld transfers energy to the bottom of the cookware,

which causes the cookware and the food inside it to become hot. The amount of heat generated in the cookware is controlled by varying the

strength of the electromagnetic eld. When the strength of the electromagnetic eld is changed, the temperature of the cookware changes

instantly. Advantages of the induction cooker:

Safe: the induction cooker does not make use of an open ame or re.

It also has a number of safety features, which allow you to enjoy cooking with your family whenever you want. Fast: in induction cooking, the cookware serves as the heat source. This

results in much faster and more even heat transfer, shortening the cooking time by more than 1/3 compared to conventional cooking. Versatile: the induction cooker has 2 preset cooking modes, each with

its own optimal heating pattern. These modes allow you to prepare a great variety of nutritious meals. Very user friendly: the simple and interactive control panel and display

allow you to easily adjust the settings at the touch of a button. Comfortable: the induction cooking process is smoke-free and produces

less grease. Moreover, the cooker and the surrounding area stay cool. This allows you to cook in a cool and comfortable environment. Portable: the induction cooker has a compact design and the cooking

plate stays cool. This means the appliance is always safe to use and allows you to cook anywhere in your home.

Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference.

Danger

Never immerse the appliance in water or rinse it under the tap.

Do not cover any part of the cooking plate with aluminium foil to

prevent the risk of electric shock, short circuiting or re.

Warning

Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local

mains voltage before you connect the appliance. The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance

operates. Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket. Always make

sure the plug is inserted rmly into the socket.

Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord or the appliance

itself is damaged. If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a

service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualied persons in

order to avoid a hazard. If the surface of the cooking plate is cracked, switch off the appliance

and do not use it anymore to prevent the risk of electric shock. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensor y or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given super vision 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. Keep the mains cord out of the reach of children. Do not let the mains

cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop on which the appliance stands. Make sure the cooking plate is clean and dry before you switch on the

appliance. Do not cover the air outlet while the induction cooker is operating.

Do not plug in the appliance or operate the control panel with wet

hands. Do not touch the cooking plate after cooking, as it retains heat from the

cookware. Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be

placed on the cooking plate since they can get hot.

Caution

Never use any accessories or parts from other manufacturers or that

Philips does not specically recommend. If you use such accessories or

parts, your guarantee becomes invalid. Do not expose the induction cooker to high temperatures, hot gas,

steam or damp heat. Do not place the induction cooker on or near an operating or still hot stove or cooker. Always switch off the appliance before you unplug it.

Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before you clean it.

This appliance is intended for indoor household use only. If the

appliance is used improperly or for professional or semi-professional purposes or if it is not used according to the instructions in the user manual, the guarantee becomes invalid and Philips will not accept liability for any damage caused. Place the induction cooker on a stable, horizontal and level surface and

make sure there is at least 10cm free space around it to prevent overheating. Do not operate the appliance on a plastic tablecloth.

Do not place anything between the cookware and the cooking plate.

The maximum weight that can be put on the induction cooker is 7kg.

Beware of hot steam that comes out of the cookware during cooking

or when you remove the lid. Do not lift and move the induction cooker while it is operating.

Never put empty cookware on the switched-on induction cooker, as

this could cause the cookware to become distorted or the heating coil to become damaged.

Do not store ammable materials and liquids near or on the induction

cooker. Avoid hard contact between the cookware or other objects and the

crystalite cooking plate. Always place the cookware on the cooking zone during cooking.

Never connect this appliance to an external timer switch or remote

control system in order to avoid a hazardous situation. Do not use cookware with a bottom diameter of more than 16cm to

deep-fry food, as this causes the appliance to malfunction.

Automatic shut-off

The appliance is equipped with automatic shut-off. It switches off automatically in two situations:

In the hot pot mode and manual mode, the appliance switches off

automatically if you do not press any button for 60 minutes. If there is no cookware or unsuitable cookware on the cooking place

when you press the start button or if you remove cookware from the cooking plate during cooking, the cooker beeps continuously, the display shows ‘----’. The cooker automatically switches off after 1 minute unless you put the cookware back onto the cooking plate within this minute.
