Function
The Mobile Induction Cooking Station is a cooking station with casters making it easy to transport the unit to wherever it is needed. Each station includes flush mounted induction ranges for high-speed cooking and an efficient air filtering system that removes grease laden vapor and odors.
Each induction range has two modes: COOK and TEMP. COOK mode offers high-speed heating used for sautéing, omelet stations, pasta bars or demonstration cooking. TEMP mode offers thermostatically controlled holding temperatures for use with soups, sauces, buffets or pastry work.
Specifications
The Mobile Induction Cooking Station comes with its own Power Management System, powering the entire unit with a single receptacle, eliminating the need for multiple receptacles at various voltages. The Power Management System includes five receptacles and can combine 120 volt and 240 volt power into one central power source of 240 volt.
Below are the requirements of the Power Management System per the specific Mobile Induction Cooking Station model.

Operation
To use the Mobile Induction Cooking Station follow the below steps.
- Turn on the Downdraft Air Filter System (model #AF-350) by pressing the ON/OFF switch located near the base and on the side of the air filter system. See Figure 1 for reference. If the Induction Cooking Station has (2) air filter systems, turn both units on.

Turn the induction range(s) on by turning the large knob on the control box clockwise. See Figure 2 for reference. The range(s) will default to COOK mode and the red light next to “Cook” will illuminate on the control box.
Figure 2. Induction Range Control Box -
“E0” will be displayed in the panel on the control box. An inductionready vessel must be placed on the range first to clear the “E0” from the display and allow for changing the mode and/or setting the temperature. Place the vessel on the range and the range will begin to heat.
NOTICE
As a safety precaution, if no induction-ready vessel is placed on the induction range after 2.5 minutes, the unit will shut off -
In the default COOK mode, the power level can be set from 1-20. To change the level, simply turn the knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease. The current power level will be shown in the display panel. The range will continue to cook until the unit is manually shut off or the mode is changed to TEMP.
-
To change to TEMP mode, touch the COOK/TEMP button on the control box. See Figure 2 for reference. The red light next to “Temp” will illuminate on the control box. To change the temperature, simply turn the knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease. The temperature can be set from 110°F-400°F (43°C – 204°C). The range will continue to heat up until the set temperature has been reached. Once reached, the range will maintain the temperature setting until manually shut off or the mode is changed to COOK.
NOTICE
Actual temperatures may vary due to a number of variables which include but are not limited to: ambient temperature in the immediate surrounding area, content and volume of food being heated, and use of a cover on the serving vessel. -
To turn the Mobile Induction Cooking Station off, turn the knob on each of the induction range control panels counter-clockwise until the display is no longer illuminated. Press the ON/OFF switch located near the base and on the side of the air filter system. If the Mobile Induction Cooking Station has (2) air filter systems, turn both units off.
Maintenance
To clean The Mobile Induction Cooking Station, turn the unit off and unplug it from its power source.
Caution Never touch the glass top of the induction range immediately after cooking. The glass may remain hot due to the heat transferred from the cookware.
Wipe the unit down with a sponge or cloth with a mild dishwashing liquid. Dry with a clean, soft cloth. Never use any abrasive pads or scouring powders.
Clean the vent located on the underside and at the back of the induction ranges daily. Clean the Downdraft Air Filter System (model #AF-350) daily. For specific instructions on cleaning the #AF-350 refer to its operation and maintenance manual found on the Spring USA website.
