•
From time to time check the cord for damages. Never use the appliance if cord or appliance shows any signs of damage as it could be dangerous.
•
Do not operate appliance when:
-
power cord is damaged
-
it has fallen down and shows visible damage or malfunction
•
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Redfern Enterprises, its service agent in order to avoid a hazard. All repairs should be made by a competent
qualified electrician . Never try to open or repair the appliance yourself to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

Remove all packaging components and make sure that the appliance is in perfect condition.
•
Before using for the first time clean the unit surface with a slightly moist cloth and dry.
The function mode and product advantages of induction cooking plate
Function of an induction cooking plate
•
The cookware has to be magnetic. Before switching on the appliance always place the magnetic cookware centred onto the cooking field.
Special notes for your safety:
•
Persons with pace makers are, according of today’s standards of knowledge, not at risk. In case of misuse or unfavourable situation, we cannot eliminate remaining
risks. For persons with pace makers we would therefore recommend to consult a doctor before using any induction cooking plates. Persons with a pacemaker should
keep a minimum distance of 60 cm to the device while it is in operation.
•
To avoid any risks do not place very big magnetic objects (i.e. griddles) onto the cooking zone of the glass field. Do not place other magnetic objects other than
cookware (i.e. credit cards, TV, radio, cassettes near or on the glass surface of the induction cooking plate when it is in operation).
•
Place the appliance on a stable, flat and dry surface which is large enough to work without any trouble, to eliminate the risk of falling down. Do not place the
appliance on flammable surfaces (i.e. table cloth…). Do not place the appliance near or onto hot surfaces or other strong heating devices (i.e. cookers, open fire,
heaters…).
•
Use pans and other utensils suitable and designed for use with induction cooking plates and featuring the correct diameter of minimum 20 to 26 cm only. This will
guarantee the best result.
•
It is recommended not to put metallic utensils (i.e. knives, pot or pan covers etc.) on the cooking plate in case of switching on the appliance, they might get hot.
•
Do not insert any objects (i.e. wires, or tools into the ventilation slots.)
Attention! This may cause electrical shock.
•
Do not touch the hot surface of the glass field. Please note: Even though the induction cooking plate does not heat up itself during cooking, the temperature of the
heated cookware heats up the cooking plate.
The system of induction cooking
The induction cooking plate and the cookware placed on it build up one unit by reason of electro- magnetism. The emerging energy will change into heat directly in the
bottom of the cookware.
This avoids heat loss which is caused by constant heating and permanent keeping warm on standard cooking plates. It is not necessary to preheat, the induction cooking
plate. When connected it is in
“Standby Mode”, without any power consumption.
Technical operating mode
A copper induction spool under the glass plate generates an alternating electro-magnetic field.
The eddy current creates magnetic fields which directly heat up the bottom of the cookware. The eddy current changes immediately into heat. The glass plate itself stays
cold. But the hot bottom of the cookware releases its heat to the glass plate and heats it up. This means saving time and energy, because compared with common cooking
plates the cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass plate itself. The heat input promptly adapts the changed settings and can be controlled in small
steps. The induction cooking plate reacts to change settings just as a gas stove. The energy reaches the pot immediately without having to heat up other materials first.
Induction technology combines fast reaction with the basic advantage of highly precise adjustment of the heat consumption.
Suitable cookware
It is most important is that the heat conductance of the cookware is extremely high, to guarantee a constant heat distribution. The bottom of the cookware used with the
induction plate has to be magnetic (ferromagnetic). Recommended for use are enamelled pots made of magnetic steel, roasting tins made of cast iron or special stainless
steel cookware with a special steel “sandwich” bottom. The specialized trade sells suitable cookware. Suitable is all cookware with a spiral symbol engraved into its bottom.
Tip: Test with a magnet if the cookware you plan to use is suitable for induction cooking.
Note: Do not use cookware made of glass, ceramic or aluminium. This kind of cookware is not suited for use with induction cooking plate.
