Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
This Samsung Electric Induction Hob requires professional electrical installation to a dedicated cooker circuit. It is crucial that this is carried out by a qualified installer to ensure both safety and optimal functionality. This type of circuit is often identified by a large red cooker switch in your kitchen.
Compatibility
This induction hob is engineered to work exclusively with induction-compatible cookware. These are typically pots and pans made from magnetic materials such as:
- Cast iron
- Enameled steel
- Stainless steel with a magnetic base
To quickly check if your current cookware is compatible, simply hold a magnet to the bottom of the pot or pan. If the magnet sticks firmly, it will work with this induction hob. Cookware made from non-magnetic materials like aluminum, copper, or glass will not heat unless they have a specially designed induction-ready base.
Care
Maintaining the pristine condition of your hob is straightforward thanks to its smooth black glass design. Follow these steps for effective cleaning:
- Always ensure the hob surface is cool to the touch before attempting to clean.
- Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away any spills, food residue, or grease splatters.
- For more stubborn marks, a non-abrasive ceramic hob cleaner can be applied sparingly.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbing pads, or sharp objects, as these can scratch or damage the glass surface.
