INTRODUCTION

Models GL650DI, GL1800DI and GL3000DI induction units with built-in controls or GL650DIR, GL1800DIR and GL3000DIR with remote controls are designed to offer fast, high-quality cooking. They are constructed of food service quality stainless steel for commercial applications and tinted tempered (safety) vitroceramic glass. All units require induction-ready pans to operate. The units and touch-activated control panels are fully sealed on top to prevent liquid intrusion. Controls include a power button, + and – buttons to raise and lower the power setting and timer setting and a button to switch the display between power and the timer. Display indicators allow for precise control of the power and timer settings.
The DI series has the controls built into the top glass and the DIR series has a core-connected remote control panel. The operation of the two types of units is identical.

Specifications

Configuration| Electrical Plug
---|---
GL-650 DI/DIR| 120V, 50/60 Hz, 1 PH, 650W, 5.5A| NEMA-5-15P
GL-1800 DI/DIR| 120V, 50/60 Hz, 1 PH, 1.8KW, 15A| NEMA-5-15P/5-20P
GL-3000 DI/DIR| 208/240V, 50/60 Hz, 1 PH, 3KW, 13/15A| NEMA-6-20P

All models must be installed on a dedicated circuit rated not less than 25% over the maximum current indicated for that model above, in accordance with NEC standards. Plug ends have been appropriately installed to meet these requirements.

INSTALLATION

The Induction unit needs to be connected to a grounded outlet of proper voltage. DO NOT place the unit in a damp area or near steam sources, or where heat from other equipment may affect the unit, by raising its internal temperature. The units are designed for in-counter installation. Please have your installer follow these installation instructions.
Step 1: The cut out

_ _REMOTE CONTROL PANEL__

with 6’-0” wire harness

| 63/4”W x 11/8”D x 21/4”H| 67/16”W x 13/4”H

Step 2: Insert the unit
Carefully place the unit into the opening to check fit. If any adjustments to the opening size are necessary, make them before proceeding to the next step.
Step 3: Sealing the unit to the countertop
Remove the unit, turn it upside down and place it on a surface that will protect the glass from being scratched. Place a bead of NSF-approved high- temperature sealant entirely around the outer edge of the underside of the unit to create the joint. Place the unit back into the opening and carefully push into place.
Step 4: Ventilation

To insure proper ventilation, make sure there is 6” between the bottom of the unit and the surface below. A side clearance of 2” is recommended. If necessary, a vent pipe can be added to the unit to bring cooler air directly to the air intake of the induction hob. The units should not be installed in a completely enclosed environment. If desired, a barrier can be constructed between the cool air entry and the hot air exhaust to prevent cool & hot air mixing.
Step 5: Filtration
Insert the drawer with the filter in it. Remove and clean at least once a month: DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT WITHOUT FILTERS.

Optional Separate Control Panel

If using the optional separate control panel, it will need to be mounted in the same fashion as the base unit. The panel can be mounted horizontally in the countertop, or vertically in the face of the counter if the countertop supports this method. The cutout dimension for the separate control panel is 6-7/16” W x 1-3/4” H. Maximum distance from the base unit is determined by the length of the included ribbon cable. NSF-approved high-temperature sealant is still required. Connect the ribbon cable to the base unit with the screws provided.

ASSEMBLY

The Induction Hob comes from the factory completely assembled. It may be shipped with plastic exterior protective film, all of which must be removed before operation. DO NOT operate the appliance prior to removing the protective film completely.

OPERATION

Using your appliance safely

The Induction Principle When switching on the appliance, and when a heat level is selected, the electronic circuits produce currents induced in the bottom of the cookware which instantly heat the food. The food is cooked with a very high energy output with virtually no energy loss.

For the attention of people with active implants and pacemakers.

The functioning of the appliance complies with the electromagnetic interference standards. . It is designed so as not to interfere with other electrical equipment to the extent that it complies with the same regulations. Your induction cooking appliance generates magnetic fields in its very close environment. So as to have no interference between your cooking appliance and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed in accordance with the regulations concerned. In this respect, we can only guarantee the conformity of our own product. Please check with the manufacturer or with your doctor concerning the pacemaker’s compliance or any potential incompatibilities.
Touch the On/Off button, marked with the familiar vertical line within a circle symbol, to turn the unit on. The unit will perform a power-on self- test, and then the display will read 0. The appliance will not heat a pan at this stage. Press and hold the + button until desired power level is reached. Alternately, the setting can be adjusted with single taps of the ‘+’ or ‘–‘ buttons, for slower increase/decrease. The display will show a numerical value from 1 to 9 for GL650DI/DIR or 1-20 for GL1800DI/DIR and GL3000DI/DIR. Once a number appears in the display, the unit will begin to heat if a pan is in place or will flash slowly if no pan is in place. The induction coil is not operating if the display is flashing. If the display flashes with a pan on the cooktop, it is either not an induction-ready pan or it is smaller than about 4 ¾” (120mm), and cannot be detected.

Timer

It is not necessary to set the timer for the unit to operate, but if desired, the unit can be set to turn off in one-minute increments, up to 99 minutes. Depress the mode button to activate the timer. The timer is set the same way as the temperature/power settings. Touch the power button again to turn the unit off. Depress the mode button to activate the timer. The fan will continue to run for a short time to cool the unit, and then will shut off.

COOKWARE

Your induction cooker operates using induction-ready cookware. There are two methods to test if your cookware is induction ready. First, if a magnet sticks to the bottom, it is induction ready. Second, if you set the unit to a power/temperature setting, place the pan on the surface, and the display remains on steadily without blinking, your cookware is induction ready. Cookware with a thick flat base is more desirable, as it will heat better. There is a wide variety of induction-ready cookware available. Different quality cookware will have different cooking profiles at the same setting. A poor-quality pot set on full power will take much longer to boil water than a high-quality pot, even if set at a lower temperature. Remember, the unit does not heat up; the induction coil causes an excitation in the molecules of the cookware itself, achieving much faster heating, and allowing much quicker changes.

Care and Maintenance

• Avoid knocks and impacts against glass cook top. The glass is very strong, but it is not unbreakable.
• Avoid friction of cookware on the cook top, which could scratch glass and wear of screen printing on the surface.
• Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bases, which may scratch the vitroceramic glass.
• Place your cookware in the center of the hob for proper operation.
• Do not leave empty cookware on the cooking zone with the unit in operation, as this could cause the cookware to overheat and warp.
• Do not heat an unopened can of food as it may burst.
• If using very little liquid in cookware with a non-stick coating, such as Teflon, do not preheat on very high power.
• The maximum power level should only be used for boiling.
• Metal objects, such as cutlery, cooking utensils or even jewelry should not be placed on the appliance as they can get very hot, very quickly.
• Physical damage, misuse or abuse to the appliance are not covered under the warranty.

WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power cord before cleaning
Cleaning is very important in maintaining a safe and well working machine. The metal filter, located under you appliance, protects your appliance from dust and grease, and should be cleaned at least once a week. It can be cleaned in a sink using soap and water, or put into the dishwasher. Use a cloth or sponge dampened slightly with a soap and water mixture to clean all exterior stainless steel surfaces and glass. Use a clean lint-free cloth to remove the excess water. Make sure no water enters the unit through ventilation holes. A glass scraper can be used on the cook top for stubborn stains. Glass cook top cleaner is also widely available, and can be used on the glass only to aid in cleaning.

• DO NOT use an abrasive sponge
• DO NOT wash the induction machine under running water
• DO NOT spray the exterior housing with any liquid
• DO NOT allow water to drip into the housing or onto electrical components

You should inspect all parts on a regular basis to ensure that all is in proper working order. If a part is damaged, have the unit repaired by an authorized service agency prior to returning the unit to operation. If you have trouble locating a service agency in your area, please consult our website at http://www.equipex.com/, or call us at 1-800-649-7885 and ask for customer service.
