Induction cooktop "Siemens": user manual, feedback

Choosing a hob for your kitchen, many housewives are confused before the huge assortment presented on the market today.

To put everything in its place, we will highlight the main points of use and operation of this device. So, let's shed light on the induction cooktop "Siemens", based on customer feedback. What are its advantages?

Choose the panel type: induction

The company "Siemens" currently offers a fairly extensive selection of hobs for any type of kitchen - it's gas, and electric, and infrared, and induction.

We all know electric cookers, where the heating element is a spiral, which is heated and, as a result, heats the dishes.

When it is red-hot, it is impossible to quickly reset the temperature or adjust it smoothly, because there are not so many temperature settings - usually up to six. And even an electric cooker of class "A" can not be compared to consumption with induction.

Let's dwell on induction a little more. This is a modern "smart" stove.

When you turn on, the induction cooktop "Siemens" automatically detects which of the hotplates there is a dish that is suitable for induction.

Not many people know the principle of this plate. It, unlike electric, has no heating element, and it does not get heated at all. Only the dishes and what is in it are heated.

That is, if it is impossible to touch any other plate without a burn, then in the case of induction it's the other way round. Yes, it breaks habitual stereotypes.

Outwardly it looks quite like an electric cooker with a ceramic coating. Inside there is an electromagnetic coil that passes current. It creates a force field, under the influence of which high-frequency currents are formed, and they in turn warm up the dishes.

Description and characteristics

Consider the main points and brief instructions of the induction hob "Siemens".

On technical characteristics, it is many times greater than its electric competitor: it has more precise temperature setting and carefully suggests up to 17 power levels.

With this detailed configuration, you do not need to use a microwave oven or any additional equipment.

Here is a photo of an induction hob "Siemens".

Any culinary masterpieces is now in your power: to warm, melt, passerate - nothing will "float away" and will not burn.

The panel can work in the heating mode and maintain heat. She herself will shut down, if, for example, the water boiled in a pan.

Feedback about the induction cooktop "Siemens" will allow us to form the positive and negative sides of this kitchen device.

Pros of using

Note the advantages of the device:

• Heats up only when dishes are placed on one of the burners;
• You will not have burnt products on the stove, because the surface of the plate itself remains cold;
• Will shorten cooking time;
• Heating occurs instantaneously;
• Significant energy savings;
• It can not be burned by it;
• The probability of a fire is reduced to zero.

What else can be noted? Induction cooktops "Siemens" do not smoke, do not smoke, do not burn air in the room and do not heat it. They do not ignite or explode.

Remove the dishes from the cooker and it will turn off automatically. Thus, it is possible to use the panel itself as a desktop on small kitchens.

Disadvantages of use

You can observe the characteristic sound when working. This occurs during the interaction of the induction coil with the dishes themselves. The cheaper the dishes, the stronger the sound. It is advisable to buy good quality dishes.

There is no possibility for long cooking such as jelly or jam. The "clever" technique automatically turns off the cooker after three hours, even if the food needs to be cooked longer. In this case, you must re-enable it.

When installing the oven, you need to clarify whether adjacent induction coils can be placed.

The cost of the hob itself is not cheap, and this entails a partial or complete replacement of the dishes, which can also hit hard on the pocket.

What dishes can I use

For an induction cooktop "Siemens" does not fit any dishes, but only one that in its composition has an alloy of steel or pure aluminum. That is, it must have ferromagnetic properties. Glass and ceramics are not suitable.

Also, the dishes should correspond to the radius of the burner: small dishes on a large burner will not turn on.

How to care

The built in induction cooktop "Siemens" is perfectly cleaned with usual liquid or gel-like means for glass ceramics or for washing dishes.

Droplets of fat that get to the surface when frying, do not freeze in stubborn spots - here they are easily removed with a sponge.

Self-Installation

If you have the necessary skills and knowledge in the field of electrical engineering, it is possible to connect the induction hob "Siemens EX675LXC1E" or any other model.

If you do not possess such knowledge, it is better to entrust this matter to professionals, in order to avoid adverse consequences.

To install the hob, you must select a flat horizontal surface.

Check that there is a small space between the wall and the hob. Also below, under the stove, you need to leave enough free space for ventilation.

The device is undesirable to install over any other household appliances.

Prepare and mark the place for the cut-out under the dimensions of the hob, they are always indicated in the instructions. Cut the section with silicone sealant. Then fasten the standard fasteners.

Next, you need to connect the cable to a wall outlet or directly to the meter. In the standard kit, there is usually a cable with four colored wires, of which blue is neutral, yellow is ground, brown and black is the phase. But for connection of panels with four burners for reliability, a 6-wire cable is required.

If you turn over the hob, you will see a drawn circuit and a small compartment, in which the wires under the lid are hidden. Unscrew it.

There you will find a standard European scheme:

• L1 L2 - respectively phase;
• N - neutral wire;
• PE - grounding.

The hob can be connected to a 220 V or 380 V network.

It is desirable that the power outlet has a ground connection. It should be designed for a current strength of 25 A and the power consumption of the hob itself, as specified in the instructions.

Check the operation of the device. If everything is working properly, then safely install the hob in the space reserved for it.

Harm to health

Such a plate was developed quite a long time ago. But its application and implementation in everyday life is not so intense.

There is an opinion that when working an induction cooker within a radius of up to 10 cm, a force field appears that can disrupt the operation of, for example, a cellular phone, player or other electrical appliances.

But at a distance of 30 cm from the hob, this field is practically not captured.

With numerous tests and tests on the panel, scientists and manufacturers concluded that induction plates do not cause harm to health.

The electromagnetic field produced by induction plates is insignificant and is not capable of influencing a person or an animal. The area of the field is local and is calculated for the radius of the hotplate, and therefore only for dishes. And electromagnetic indices in a radius of more than 30 cm are equal to 0.

Only those people who have pacemakers, defibrillators or other implanted devices should be cautious. A force field can disrupt their operation.

Many users negatively regard induction hobs only because they do not fully understand the principle of operation and use of the stove, because it is unique and requires a special approach.

Such an acquisition will brighten up the life and kitchen efforts of any hostess, and pastime in the kitchen will be a joy. Beautiful, comfortable, multifunctional, it elegantly fits into the design of any kitchen.
