Working principles

Product Description

The induction hob adopts the magnetic induction method for heating. It produces the magnetic

field by allowing the high-frequency current to pass through the coils. When the magnetic lines of

force inside the magnetic field reach the bottom of the iron pot, it results in numerous small

eddies and the pot itself rapidly emits heat, thereby heating the food inside the pot. Iron pots

should be used because pots of other materials are not magnetically permeable or have low

magnetic permeability. (See the picture below for working principles)

Please perform a test run before installation to ensure your benefit.

Place a pot applicable to the induction hob with a small amount of water on the heating zone of the panel.

★Plug into the power and the appliance produces a beep. All digital tubes light up for about 1 second,

and the induction hob will enter the standby state.

★Test method: place a pot applicable to the induction hob with a small amount of water on the heating

zone, and touch the "Power" button to turn on the appliance. The digital tube displays “-”, and the

appliance enter standby state. Adjust the power level by sliding on the circular sliding control zone in a

clockwise direction, and it starts to work, and the water is heated, which means it works.

Installation Method

Trial Run

Instructions for Use

1.Make openings in the countertop according to the size shown below. Pay attention to the

difference in the sizes of openings when single and multiple units are installed.

2.The distance between the countertop and the partition should be no less than 160mm if no

electrical appliance such as disinfection cabinets is installed below. A vent at least 150cm²

(equivalent to 3 circular holes with a diameter of 80mm) should be opened at the back of the

cupboard for ventilation and heat dissipation of the induction hob.

3.A vent at least 150cm² (equivalent to 3 circular holes with a diameter of 80mm) should be

opened at the back of the cupboard and cuts of 400X120 should be made on the side panels

of the cupboard for ventilation and heat dissipation of the induction hob if electrical appliances

such as disinfection cabinets are installed below.

4.The induction hob should be equipped with a 10A socket, and the cross-sectional area of the

copper core wire introduced into the socket should be no less than 1.5mm².

5.It is recommended that the power cable of the induction hob be separately connected to a

small circuit breaker capable of carrying 20A to ensure the induction hob work normally at the

maximum power condition.

6.If the power plug cannot be reached after the hob is installed, it should be completed by a

switch with fixed wiring that conforms to the wiring regulations, by which the power is cut off in

case of maintenance or emergencies.

Precautions for Use Instructions for Selection of Cookware

Electrical Wiring Diagram

★Please turn off the induction hob before unplugging it.

★ Use a dedicated power socket to ensure the power plug connects well with the socket.

★Make sure the cooktop and the bottom of the pot is clean and free of paper, cloth, etc. Make

sure the bottom of the pot is close to the cooktop.

★Please reserve radiation space according to the installation instructions, otherwise the

performance of the appliance may be damaged.

★keep the vents clear and free of any object. There are many live parts inside the induction

hob. Do not use metal rods or needles to touch the air entry and air vent to avoid electric

shock or damage to it.

★The induction hob should be placed properly and the vents should not be blocked. In

addition, and certain space for air circulation should be left to prevent damage to the power

tube due to high temperature of the hob.

★Do not place the induction hob near other high-temperature heat sources or in moist places

when using to protect it from high temperature or moisture.

★The voltage of the induction hob should be consistent with the rated voltage. Too high or too

low voltage will damage the induction hob. Use a voltage regulator to ensure that the voltage

meets the requirements if necessary.

Cleaning

★Please unplug the power plug from the power socket and let the panel cool down before

cleaning.

★Please clean it with mild detergent, and avoid using solvents such as strong acids and

alkalis; do not wipe it with gasoline, toluene and other organic solvents.

★Do not rinse it with water to avoid major failure or affecting the safety performance of the

product.

★If any plastic products, kitchen foil, sugar or sugary foods are melted off on the panel, please

clean them with a soft dry cloth immediately before the panel cools down to prevent damage

to it; it is forbidden to touch the panel with hands!

★Please handle the induction hob with care and do not shake it violently during cleaning and

maintenance.

★Regularly clean and maintain the induction hob to prevent insects or other foreign objects

from entering the fan and the induction hob, which will cause failure.
