IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

- Carefully read all instructions before operating the induction cooker for the first time and save for future reference.

• Remove and safely discard any packaging material and promotional labels before using the induction cooker for the first time.
  • To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, remove and safely discard the protective cover fitted to the power plug of this appliance.
• Do not place the induction cooker 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 the induction cooker on any metal surface, 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 with at least 10cm free space around the induction cooker to prevent overheating.
• Position the induction cooker at a minimum distance of 20cm away from curtains, cloths and other heat sensitive materials when in use. This will allow for adequate air circulation and also help prevent the possibility of curtains and cloths discoloration due to radiated heat.
• Do not use the induction cooker on a sink drain board.
• Do not leave the induction cooker unattended when in use.

• If the induction cooker is not in use for an extended period, disconnect from the power outlet.

• Use only induction compatible cooking saucepans and pots suitable for use with the induction cooker.
  • Extreme caution must be used when the induction cooker is in use with an induction compatible saucepans and pots. Do not move the induction cooker during cooking or while the saucepan or pot remains on the induction cooker.

• Do not operate the induction cooker in the vicinity of magnetically sensitive objects (e.g. magnetic cards).
  • The induction cooker 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 induction cooker is operating and for some time after use.

• Do not place anything on top of the induction cooker surface (except induction cooker pot or saucepan) when in use.

• 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 induction cooker 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 induction cooker.

• 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.

• Do not heat any opened or unopened cans on the induction cooker.
  • Always switch off the induction cooker at the power outlet, then unplug the power cord and cool completely, if the induction cooker is not in use, before cleaning, before attempting to move the induction cooker, and when storing the appliance.

• 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 flammable materials and liquids near or on the induction cooker.
• Avoid hard contact between the cookware or other objects and the ceramic glass cooking plate.
  • Always place the cookware on the cooking zone during cooking.
• Only use flat bottom cookware to provide full contact with the cooking zone glass surface during cooking to avoid the heating coil becoming damaged.

Operation

WHAT IS INDUCTION COOKING?

An induction cooker creates an electromagnetic field to heat the induction compatible 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.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your Breville induction cooker become familiar with all the parts.

Remove and safely discard all packaging materials and promotional labels.

Wipe the glass ceramic plate surface with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

WARNING

Do not immerse the power cord, power plug and any other part of the induction cooker in water or any other liquid.

HOW TO USE YOUR QUICK COOK™

1. Place the induction cooker on a dry, stable and level surface.
2. Make sure there is at least 10cm free space around the induction cooker to prevent overheating.
3. Position an induction compatible saucepan/pot in the centre of the circular design on the glass ceramic plate surface, ensure liquid or food is inside the saucepan/pot.
4. Insert the power plug into a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch power outlet 'On'.

NOTE

Ensure the saucepan/pot is positioned in the centre of the circular design on the glass ceramic plate surface.

WARNING

Never use the saucepan/pot when empty; ensure liquid or food is inside the saucepan/pot.
