anything other than food in suitable
pans.
suitable cookware
●
Only use flat bottomed pans that are
suitable for induction hob use. If in
doubt, check with the manufacturer
of your pans. If they are unsuitable
the induction hob will not detect the
pan.
The induction hob is suitable for
pans with a base diameter of
12 – 22cm.
Metal cooking utensils are not
recommended since they can be
heated through the induction hob if
left in the pan during cooking.
●
●
Never use with pans that are empty.
In the unlikely event of the contents
of the pan catching fire: turn off the
appliance, smother the pan with a
damp cloth and leave to cool
completely prior to handling the pan.
As with all hobs, in the event that
cookware is accidentally overheated
and allowed to boil dry, it is
important that before moving from
the induction hob the heat source be
turned off and the pan allowed to
cool.
Overheating should be avoided at all
times. Persistent overheating can
cause permanent damage to your
cookware.
Do not place credit cards, magnetic
media or sensitive electronic
equipment near to the appliance
when in use.
Do not use the appliance outdoors.
During operation, the induction hob
should be placed horizontally, on a
flat heat resistant surface, at least
10cm away from all sides of the wall.
Do not let infirm people use the
appliance without supervision.
Do not let children use or play with
the appliance.
Only use the appliance for its
intended domestic use. Kenwood
will not accept any liability if the
appliance is subject to improper use,
or failure to comply with these
instructions.

The wires in the cord are coloured
as follows:
Blue = Neutral,
Brown = Live.
The appliance must be protected by
a 13A approved (BS1362) fuse.
●
●
Note:
For non-rewireable plugs the fuse
cover MUST be refitted when
replacing the fuse. If the fuse cover
is lost then the plug must not be
used until a replacement can be
obtained. The correct fuse cover is
identified by colour and a
replacement may be obtained from
your Kenwood Authorised Repairer
(see Service).

●
If a non-rewireable plug is cut off it
must be DESTROYED
IMMEDIATELY. An electric shock
hazard may arise if an unwanted
non-rewireable plug is inadvertently
inserted into a 13A socket outlet.
This machine complies with
