1. Controls
With easy-to-clean touchpad controls, GSW CU-18A Commercial Induction Cooktop is definitely what you need: you can operate it easily using Power On/ Off key, “TEMP/ HOLD” function SELECT key, and Power / Temperature up / down adjust keys.
Also, you are going to observe some LED lights while using the induction cooktop: “heating” indicator light (pan detector), “COOK” function indicator light, “TEMP HOLD” function indicator light, and Power Level / Holding Temperature display LED lights.
2. Surface
Underneath the surface ceramic top plate, there is a high frequency (20-35 KHz) induction coil that heats the cooking utensil by magnetic friction.
It is important to put the appliance on a horizontal surface but to keep away from wall or objects at least 5-10 cm (2” ~ 4”).
It is recommended to not touch the hot surface of the ceramic plate; although the induction range itself does not produce any heat during cooking, the heat from the pan will leave the surface of the ceramic hot!
3. Heating Elements
GSW CU-18A Commercial Induction Cooktop provides an 1800 watt induction heating zone, heat and temperature controls, attached 5½-foot power cord, and NEMA 5-15P plug and 5-20P plug.
It comes with one-year parts and labor warranty.
It is important to use pans of 12 cm (4.75”) or larger in diameter; pans should be less than 26 cm (10.25”) in diameter and made of iron, cast iron, stainless steel, and enamelware.
4. Power/Watts
For this 1800 watts unit, you need an individual 120V, 15 Amp electrical socket. It is rated at 120V, 15 Amp, and 50/60 Hz. Ensure close supervision when the induction range is used or near children.
5. Sensors
Your cooktop will automatically shut down if the pan is left on the induction range for more than 2 hours, or if the user does not operate any functions for more than 2 hours.
Also, if the induction range is left on for more than 60 seconds without a pan or with an incompatible pan, the unit will automatically shut off.
The induction range will not recognize any objects or utensils smaller than 5 cm in diameter and if the pan’s material is not suitable for this induction range, the pan indicator will not work.
Once the pan’s temperature becomes too high, and the temperature remains too high for 60 seconds, the unit will shut off automatically.
6. Ventilation
The commercial induction cooktop incorporates a ventilation system for avoiding the overheating of electrical components; this is why you should place the induction range on a horizontal surface and at least 10 cm away from the wall and other objects for proper ventilation.
So, do not block the air intake panel as blocking may overheat the unit.
