The V-Guard VIRC 04 Infrared Cooktop is a powerful 2200W electric cooking appliance designed for households that want greater cookware flexibility than a conventional induction cooktop can provide. Using infrared radiant heating, it works with a wide range of suitable induction and non-induction vessels while offering up to 11 power and temperature levels, six cooking modes and temperatures up to 650°C. V-Guard also equips it with touch controls, digital indication and multiple electrical-safety features for convenient everyday cooking.

V-Guard VIRC 04 Infrared Cooktop
Unlike a conventional induction appliance that requires magnetic cookware, VIRC 04 uses infrared radiant heat.
V-Guard specifically markets the model as compatible with a wide range of regular vessels, allowing households to continue using many existing pots and pans rather than purchasing induction-specific cookware.
Suitable flat-bottom cookware can include common stainless-steel, aluminium and other heat-resistant cooking vessels, subject to the manufacturer’s instructions for the individual utensil.
This makes the VIRC 04 especially useful for households that want electric cooking but do not want to replace their existing cookware.

Powerful 2200W Infrared Heating
V-Guard officially rates the cooktop at 2200W maximum power.
The infrared heating element can reach temperatures of up to 650°C, supporting high-heat tasks such as frying, searing, grilling and chapati preparation.
Because infrared heat is transferred through the heated cooktop surface, the glass area itself becomes hot during use and can remain hot after cooking.
Users should therefore pay attention to the hot-surface warning and avoid touching the heating zone until it has cooled sufficiently.
11 Power and Temperature Levels
The VIRC 04 provides 11 adjustable power levels, giving users more control over cooking intensity.
Higher levels can be used for rapid boiling, frying or grilling, while lower settings can support gentler simmering and reheating.
The touch-panel interface allows these settings to be selected without mechanical knobs.
A digital display helps users monitor the selected operating mode, power or timer settings.
Six Cooking Modes
V-Guard officially lists six distinct cooking modes for the VIRC 04.
Current exact-model listings identify common modes such as Manual, Fry/BBQ, Milk, Boil, Dosa/Chapatti and Idli.
These presets provide convenient starting points for regular Indian cooking, while manual adjustment remains available when the user wants more precise control.
Cooking times can vary depending on cookware thickness, vessel size, quantity and selected temperature.
BBQ Grill Included
A distinctive feature of the VIRC 04 is the included BBQ grill rack.
V-Guard positions this accessory for grilling and toasting directly over the infrared cooking zone, expanding the appliance beyond basic boiling and frying.
The retail package officially includes one infrared cooktop, one BBQ grill and one user manual.
Users should follow the supplied instructions carefully when grilling because the heating surface can reach very high temperatures.
Up to 4kV Surge Protection
The cooktop includes up to 4kV surge protection, an especially useful feature in locations where temporary electrical voltage spikes may occur.
V-Guard also incorporates high- and low-voltage cut-off protection to help safeguard the appliance when incoming power moves outside suitable operating conditions.
These protections improve electrical resilience but do not replace a properly earthed household power connection.
Multiple Safety Features
VIRC 04 includes overheating protection, automatic shut-off, child lock, anti-skid feet and a hot-warning indicator.
The child-lock function helps prevent unintended control changes, while anti-skid feet improve stability on a suitable kitchen surface.
The hot-warning function is particularly important with infrared cooking because the glass remains physically hot after the appliance has been switched off.
Users should allow the surface to cool before cleaning.
4-Hour Timer and 24-Hour Preset
V-Guard provides a 4-hour cooking timer together with a 24-hour preset function.
The timer allows a cooking duration to be selected, while the preset function can help schedule supported cooking operations in advance.
For unattended cooking, users should still follow the appliance manual and avoid leaving high-temperature frying or grilling unsupervised.
Stainless-Steel Body and Compact Design
V-Guard officially lists a stainless-steel body with a black cooking surface.
The appliance measures approximately 37.1 × 29 × 7.2 cm and weighs about 2.6 kg, making it relatively easy to move or store when not in use.
Its single-zone design can be useful in compact kitchens, hostels, rented homes and office pantries, or as an additional cooking surface alongside a conventional stove.
