3. Product Components

The Morphy Richards Chef Xpress 400I Induction Cooker package includes:

• 1 Unit Induction Cooker
• User Manual (this document)

4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the induction cooker from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the induction cooker on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space (at least 10-15 cm) around the appliance for proper ventilation. Do not place it near heat sources or on metallic surfaces.
3. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet voltage matches the appliance's requirements (220-240V AC, 50Hz).
4. Cookware: Use only induction-compatible cookware. These typically have a flat bottom and are made of magnetic materials like cast iron or stainless steel. A magnet will stick to the bottom of compatible cookware.

5. Operating Instructions

The Morphy Richards Chef Xpress 400I features a user-friendly control panel with a knob for power adjustment.

1. Power On: Place an induction-compatible pot or pan centrally on the cooking surface. Plug the appliance into the power outlet. The display will illuminate.
2. Select Power/Temperature: Turn the control knob to select the desired power level or temperature setting. The 400I model typically offers various pre-set cooking functions or a manual power adjustment up to 1400 Watts.
3. Cooking: The induction cooker will begin heating the cookware. The cooking surface itself does not generate heat directly but heats the cookware through electromagnetic induction.
4. Adjust Settings: Adjust the power level as needed during cooking by turning the control knob.
5. Power Off: After cooking, turn the control knob to the 'OFF' position or press the power button (if available) to switch off the appliance. Remove the cookware. The fan may continue to run for a short period to cool down internal components.
6. Unplug: Unplug the appliance from the mains socket when not in use.

Note: The induction cooker will automatically shut off if no compatible cookware is detected or if the cookware is removed from the surface.

6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your induction cooker.

• Cleaning:
  • Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
  • Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for ceramic cooktops.
  • Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or steel wool, as these can scratch the surface.
  • Clean the exterior body with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Ensure no water enters the internal components.
• Storage: Store the induction cooker in a dry, cool place when not in use. Protect it from dust and moisture.
• Ventilation: Keep the air inlet and outlet vents clear of obstructions to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
