Induction cooktop LOTUS 09030439X

An induction wok hob transfers energy directly into a steel pan through a magnetic field, eliminating open flames and heating only the cookware. The ceramic glass surface remains cool to the touch around the pan, reducing accidental burns and making the workspace safer. Heat adjusts instantly when the power level changes, allowing precise control for delicate sauces or rapid stir-frying without overshooting the target temperature.

The operator places a steel wok or concave pan on the marked cooking zone, selects the power level via the waterproof knobs, and begins cooking. Digital or standard controls offer fine increments from gentle simmering to intense searing. Once finished, the pan cools quickly when removed, and the hob surface can be wiped clean immediately without waiting for residual heat to dissipate.

Fabricated from 18/10 CrNi AISI 304 stainless steel, the unit features a 2 mm thick worktop with rounded edges, chromed details, and a rear splashback finished in Scotch-Brite satin polish. The front control panel detaches easily for access to serviceable parts. Adjustable flanged feet allow levelling on uneven floors, while rolling racks prevent pots from sliding during transport.

A 5 kW power rating requires a 400 V 3-phase circuit, typical of professional kitchens with heavy cooking loads. The 53 kg weight ensures stability during vigorous stir-frying but allows repositioning with the integrated rolling racks. The 400 mm depth, 900 mm width, and 900 mm height fit standard worktop installations while leaving space for rear ventilation.

Cleaning involves wiping the ceramic glass top after each use to remove spills before they carbonise. The stainless steel surfaces resist staining but benefit from regular polishing to maintain the satin finish. The detachable control panel simplifies access for periodic inspection of internal components.

The PCIW-94ETDX is categorised under professional induction cooking equipment, designed for high-output wok stations in commercial kitchens.
