Detailed Technical Specifications

Cookware Compatibility

Induction cooking relies on magnetic fields, which means only specific types of cookware are compatible with the Walton F15. To function correctly, the base of the cookware must be made of a ferromagnetic metal. Suitable materials include:

• Magnetic Stainless Steel
• Cast Iron
• Enamelled Steel
• Induction-ready Aluminum (with magnetic base)

Materials such as standard aluminum, copper, glass, ceramic, or earthenware will not work with this device. A simple test to check compatibility is to place a magnet on the bottom of your pot or pan; if the magnet sticks firmly, the cookware is generally suitable for induction use.

Usage Instructions and Safety Cautions

1. Place the induction cooker on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
2. Ensure there is at least 10cm of space around the unit for proper ventilation.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded AC 220-240V outlet.
4. Place a compatible pan with food or liquid inside onto the center of the cooking zone.
5. Power on the unit and select the desired cooking mode or manually adjust the wattage between 120W and 1800W using the touch panel.
6. After cooking, turn off the device but do not unplug it immediately; the internal fan will continue to run to cool down the electronics.

Safety Precautions: Never heat an empty pan as it can reach high temperatures very quickly and damage the surface. Do not touch the cooking zone immediately after use, as residual heat from the pan will have warmed the glass surface. Keep the air inlet and outlet free from dust and obstructions.

Warranty and Service

Walton provides a structured warranty for the F15 Induction Cooker to ensure long-term reliability. The warranty terms are as follows:

• Spare Parts: 6 Months
• After-Sales Service: 1 Year

Please note that the warranty typically covers manufacturing defects. It does not cover damage resulting from electrical surges, physical impact, water ingress into the internal circuitry, or unauthorized repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Does this cooker work with any type of pot?
A: No, it requires induction-compatible cookware with a magnetic base. Standard aluminum or clay pots will not function.

Q: How much power does it consume?
A: It has an adjustable range from 120W to 1800W. You can lower the wattage to save energy for slow cooking or increase it for fast boiling.

Q: Is the touch panel waterproof?
A: While the surface is easy to wipe clean, the unit is not waterproof. Spills should be cleaned immediately with a damp cloth, ensuring no liquid enters the air vents.

Q: Why does the fan keep running after I turn it off?
A: This is a safety feature. The fan cools down the internal components and the top plate to prevent heat damage. It will stop automatically once the temperature drops.

Q: Is it safe to use with a stabilizer?
A: While not strictly required if your home voltage is stable within 220-240V, using a high-quality voltage stabilizer can protect the sensitive electronics from power fluctuations.
