When choosing a hob for their kitchen, many housewives find themselves at a loss in front of the huge range on the market today.

To put everything in its place, let's highlight the main points of use and operation of this device. So, let's shed light on the Siemens induction hob, based on consumer feedback. What are its benefits?

Choose the type of panel: induction

Siemens currently offers a fairly extensive selection of hobs for any type of kitchen - gas, electric, infrared, and induction.

We all know electric stoves, where the heating element is a spiral that heats up and, as a result, heats the dishes.

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

Let's dwell on the induction in a little more detail. This is a modern "smart" cooker.

When switched on, the Siemens induction hob will automatically detect which burner contains cookware suitable for induction.

Not many people know how this stove works. She, unlike the electric one, does not have a heating element, and she does not heat up at all. Only the dishes and what is in them are heated.

That is, if it is impossible to touch any other stove without a burn, then in the case of induction, the opposite is true. Yes, it breaks the usual stereotypes.

It looks just like a ceramic-coated electric stove. Inside 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, heat the dishes.

Description and characteristics

Let's consider the main points and brief instructions of the Siemens induction hob.

In terms of technical characteristics, it is many times superior to its electric competitor: it has more precise temperature control and carefully offers up to 17 power levels.

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

Here is a photo of the inductionSiemens hob.

Any culinary masterpieces are now in your power: warm up, melt, sauté - nothing will "float away" and will not burn.

The panel can work in heating mode and keep warm. It will turn itself off if, for example, the water boils away in a saucepan.

Feedback on the Siemens induction hob 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 there is dishes on one of the burners;
• you will not have burnt food on the stove, because the surface of the stove itself remains cold;
• will reduce cooking time;
• heats up instantly;
• significant energy savings;
• it is impossible to get burned;
• reduces the chance of a fire.

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

Remove the dishes from the stove - and it will automatically turn off. Thus, it is possible to use the panel itself as a desktop in small kitchenettes.

Cons of using

You can observe the characteristic sound when working. It happens during interaction.induction coil with the dishes themselves. The cheaper the cookware, the stronger the sound. It is advisable to purchase good quality dishes.

There is no possibility in long-term cooking of dishes such as jelly or jam. "Smart" technology automatically turns off the stove after three hours, even if the food needs to be cooked longer. In this case, you should turn it on again.

When installing the oven, you need to check whether it is possible to place induction coils in the neighborhood.

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

What dishes can I use

Not all cookware is suitable for the Siemens induction hob, but only those that have an alloy of steel or pure aluminum in their composition. That is, it must have ferromagnetic properties. Glass and ceramics are not suitable.

Also, the cookware must match the radius of the burner: small cookware on a large burner will not turn on.

How to care

Siemens built-in induction hob cleans perfectly with conventional liquid or gel glass-ceramic or dishwashing detergents.

Droplets of fat that fall on the surface during frying do not harden into stubborn stains - here they are easily removed with a sponge.

Self installation

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

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

To install the hob, you must choose 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.

It is undesirable to install the device above any other household appliances.

Prepare and mark a place for a cutout for the dimensions of the hob, they are always indicated in the instructions. Seal the cut with silicone sealant. Then screw on the stock mounts.

Next, you need to connect the cable to a power outlet or directly to the meter. The standard kit usually comes with a cable with four colored wires, of which blue is neutral, yellow is ground, brown and black are phase. However, a 6-wire cable is required to connect 4-burner panels for reliability.

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

There you will find the standard European pattern:

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

The hob canconnect to a 220 V or 380 V network.

It is desirable that the mains socket has a ground connection. It must be rated for a current of 25 A and the power consumption of the hob itself, indicated in the instructions.

Check the operation of the device. If everything works fine, then feel free to install the hob in the place allotted for it.

He alth damage

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

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

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

After numerous samples and tests on the panel, scientists and manufacturers have concluded that induction cookers do not cause harm to he alth.

The electromagnetic field generated by induction cookers is negligible and cannot affect a person or an animal. The area of the field is local and is designed for the radius of the burner, and therefore only for dishes. And electromagnetic indicators in a radius over 30 cm are 0.

Only those people who have pacemakers, defibrillators or other implanted devices need to be careful. The force field could disrupt their operation.

Many users have a negative attitude towards induction hobs only because they did not fully understand the principle of operationand using the stove, because it is peculiar and requires a special approach.

Such an acquisition will brighten up the life and kitchen chores of any housewife, and spending time in the kitchen will become a joy. Beautiful, comfortable, multifunctional, it will elegantly fit into the design of any kitchen.
