DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION
Far East Kitchen Solutions range of commercial heavy duty, high efficiency induction cooking appliances are
constructed in easy clean stainless steel external finish except for certain parts such as the controls. They may be
supplied with either standard splashback or low back option and are available on industrial adjustable feet or with
caster wheels.
Induction generators are the result of intensive research and development work. In addition to their high safety
standard, they offer easy operation, the latest technology and maximum convenience. The system comprises an easy
clean ceramic glass hob surface with an induction coil beneath, which generates an alternating magnetic field. When
a pan with a magnetic base is placed on the cooking zone, eddy currents are created in the pan base causing
molecules within it to move in a regular pattern at high speed, this creates friction that generates heat. Because the
heat is made directly within the pan, less heat is lost the surrounding environment and it does not need to transfer
between the cooktop and pan surfaces. Therefore pan heats quickly and food is heated more rapidly, allowing meals
to be prepared in a shorter time.
There are no open flames, no hot plates or heating elements, no fumes and no dust. They can be made small, safe
and stylish, and complete most cooking tasks.
The quality of the cookware is important to the efficiency of induction cooking. On flat hobs, the pan base must be
flat with good heat distribution. On wok hobs, the pan profile should closely match the shape of the glass. Generally,
suitable pans are made from cast iron, enamelled steel and stainless steel with a magnetic base. Unsuitable pans are
glass, earthenware, aluminium, copper and non-magnetic stainless steel. Use pans of the size and type
recommended.
A pan detection feature ensures that no energy is flowing when there is no pan (eliminating any fire hazard). A
temperature sensor monitors the pan to prevent the pan boiling dry (no liquid in the pan), and switches ‘Off’ the
cooking zone immediately in the event of overheating.
It is normal for induction generators to make buzzing, whistling and clicking noises, especially on lower power
settings.
The range comes in numerous configurations; these instructions cover the models detailed overleaf.
