Description of the Appliance

a. IH Cooking
The induction hob is based on the electromagnetic induction principle. After power on, lines of magnetic force create eddy currents in the pan/pot, causing the whole pan/pot to generate heat.
b. Benefits

1.  No gas, no flames, no smoke, no need to heat the air, you are free from concerning explosions, fires and bums as well as extra air-conditioning.
2. With higher energy efficiency than conventional electric cookers, you could enjoy saving cost and time by faster cooking.
3. Well protected from dirt and scratches, you could easily clean and maintain your appliance.

c. Parts Identification

1. Left Induction cooking zone
2. Right Induction cooking zone
3. Control panel
4. Ceramic glass top plate
5. Supply cord
6. Double pole switch box

d. Control Panel

e. Dimension of the cooking zone
Specified dimension of suitable cookware (Please refer to details in Chapter 2 regarding “Cookwares”)

For the testing of the energy efficiency scheme, a suitable pot should be used:

1. for the cooking zone on the left, a B4 pot (260mm) should be used.
2. for the cooking zone on the right, a B3 pot (200mm) should be used.

For the cooking zone on the left, use pots with a bottom diameter bigger than 220mm but not exceeding 260mm in order to get the most efficient performance of Grade 2 for IHs. For the cooking zone on the right, use pots with a bottom diameter bigger than 180mm but not exceeding 200mm in order to get the most efficient performance of Grade 2 for IHs.
