introduction Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit 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 field. When cookware consisting of magnetic material (e.g. iron) is placed on the induction cooker, the electromagnetic field 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 field. When the strength of the electromagnetic field 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 flame or fire. 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 40% compared to conventional cooking. Versatile: the induction cooker has 9 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.

Warning The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance operates. Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance. Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket. Always make sure the plug is inserted firmly 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 qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. 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. 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. Never connect this appliance to an external timer switch in order to avoid a hazardous situation. Make sure the cooking plate is clean and dry before you switch on the appliance. Do not cover the air outlets 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. Do not cover any part of the cooking plate with aluminium to prevent the risk of electric shock, short circuiting or fire. 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, short circuiting or fire.

Caution Never use any accessories or parts from other manufacturers or that Philips does not specifically 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 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 refuses any liability for 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. For better ventilation, do not block the air inlet and outlets while the appliance is operating, e.g. 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 8kg. 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 flammable materials and liquids near or on the induction cooker. Avoid hard contact between the cookware or other objects and the crystalite cooking plate.
