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) 
Installation Method
- 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.
- 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(Fig 1 ).
- 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(Fig 2).
- About wiring, the cross-sectional area of the copper core wire introduced should be no less than 2. 5mm2.
- This appliance does come with a plug preassembled the induction hob should be equipped with a 16A socket.
- This appliance does not come with a plug preassembled and it has to be connect power supply cord as product requirement.
- 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.
- 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.
Trial Run
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 in the power cord and the appliance produces a beep. All digital tubes light up for about 2 seconds, and the induction hob will enter the standby state.
- Test method: place a pot suitable for the induction hob with some water in the heating zone, and touch the “On/Off” button to turn on the appliance. The digital tube displays “-“, and the appliance enters the standby state. Adjust the power level by pressing “+”. Now it starts to work. If the water is heated, it indicates that the hob is working.

Precautions for Use
- 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.
Instructions for Selection of Cookware
Proper
ImProper
Please use cast iron cookware with a thickness of more than 2.5 mm because it produces low electromagnetic noise and its thermal efficiency is equivalent to that of a standard pot. Cookware with a composite bottom may produce harsh noises during use due to gaps between the inner and outer layers of the bottom.
