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.
•Do not place anything
between the cookware
and the induction cooker
cooking plate.
•Do not put heavy objects
on the induction cooker.
Maximum weight of
cookware and content
should not exceed 6kg.
•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
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.
•Always use cookware with
a bottom diameter from
12cm to 23cm during
cooking.
•Keep the appliance
clean. Follow cleaning
instructions provided in
this book.
WARNING
•Fully unwind the power cord
from the storage facility
before use.
•Before use, people with
electronic implants such
as pacemakers, etc., and or
other health issues should
consult their doctor, as the
induction cooker generates
a magnetic field.
•If the glass ceramic plate
surface is cracked, switch off
the appliance to avoid the
possibility of electric shock.
Return the appliance to the
nearest authorised Breville
Service Centre for repair.
•Always keep in mind that
the induction cooker, after
being switched off, will
continue to radiate residual
heat on the glass ceramic
plate heating surface.
•Do not use this induction

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.
RECOMMENDED TYPES AND
SIZES OF COOKWARE
Material Cookware with a bottom made of iron or
magnetic stainless steel.
Shape Cookware with a flat bottom.
Size Cookware with a bottom diameter of 12-23cm
