General Information

Description of Product

Built with a robust construction, our induction appliances
are compact and powerful with the revolutionary RTCS®
or RTCSmp® Technology (Realtime Temperature Control
System).

The RTCS®/RTCSmp® Technology monitors continuously in
realtime, the energy supply, temperature of the cook zone,
and the state of the components such as the induction coil.
This monitoring system ensures the most efficient energy
transfer, as well as maximizes safety:

• Safety functions such as Pan Detection and Boil Dry
Protection are therefore guaranteed.

• The appliance generates power only when a pan is in
contact with the cook zone surface.

• When a malfunction occurs, the integrated fault
diagnostic system reports the malfunction instantly.

Application

The RTCS®/RTCSmp® induction appliances are designed to
be incorporated into a custom-built counter or an island
suite. See section 2 Installation.

You can use your appliance for many applications
throughout the day, such as cooking, warming up,
keeping warm, flambéing and roasting of food. All these
applications are possible because:

• Temperature control is instantaneous and precise.
Instant energy transmission from inverter coil to the
bottom of cookware, allows for fast startup time.

• High power is possible for braising application and
quick sauté.

• High power also means you can heat up a large
stockpot quickly (3.5kW coil or above).

NOTE: To guarantee the reliability and performance of the
appliance, you must use the recommended types and sizes
of pans with the appliance. See section 3 Operation.

Ventilation Methods

When managing airflow around the induction equipment,
you must consider many factors including:

• The number and type of the appliances and the amount
of heat they would generate.

• The orientation of the exhaust vent of each appliance.

• The locations of the air vents of the cabinet.

• The installation and ventilation clearances for the
equipment.

• The overall kitchen environment such as the locations
of other heat or moisture generating equipment (fryers,
ovens, pasta cookers).

As each installed location would have unique individual
requirements, this section can only provide you with some
typical designs for your consideration. (Note: Multiple
ventilation methods are shown together in one single
cabinet for illustration purposes only.)

1

Fresh air intake opening is placed where it will not
be blocked and the air filter is accessible for weekly
cleaning. In this example, it is installed behind a cabinet

door with louvered openings.

2

Ventilation gaps are created around the cabinet

doors to aid air movement.

3

The fresh intake air is isolated and directed to the

appliance through an air duct.

4

Ventilation vents are installed at the front of the

cabinet to aid air movement.

5

Typically, exhaust vents are installed on the back of

the cabinet.

6

Flue riser is another effective method to vent the

hot exhaust.

Examples of Ventilation at Front of Cabinet

Fresh air intake into the cabinet is important to keep the
ambient temperature low and to push hot exhaust out of
the cabinet.

1. The simplest method is to install louvered openings
beneath the counter surface.

2. Instead of louvered openings, consider creating a long
air gap.

3. If the cabinet has a plate rail, consider creating air gaps
on the underside of the rail.

4. Another common method is to create gaps around
cabinet doors.

Examples of Ventilation at Back of Cabinet

Adequate exhaust openings must be provided to allow hot
air to escape. Typically, exhaust vents are installed on the
back, at the top of cabinet.

1. The simplest method is to install louvered openings.

2. When multiple appliances are installed, it is
recommended to use additional ventilation fan or fans
to expel quickly the exhaust.

3. Depending on the clearance behind the cabinet, a
flue riser might be necessary to provide a path for the
exhaust to dissipate.

4. A combination of flue riser and ventilation fans
are often used in island suite when multiple heat
generating appliances are installed.

Typical Applications

In this section you will find examples of the most common
installations for the induction appliance.

• Application 1 shows an installation of multiple
appliances. Special attention must be paid to the
ventilation and electrical requirements in this situation.

• In Applications 2 to 4, only a single appliance is
shown for simplicity and to illustrate the key cabinet
requirements.

IMPORTANT DESIGN FEATURES

Water-tight environment:

9

Mating surfaces between the appliance and
coutertop are sealed with silicone (not shown, see
Installation Instructions on page 34).

10

Design and construct ventilation gaps that
could prevent water ingress (not shown, see Cabinet
Requirements on page 12).

APPLICATION EXAMPLE 1

• Multiple appliances of the same or different types are
built into the same counter or island suite.

• In this application, it is very important that all
ventilation and electrical requirements are met.

• See Important Design Features on page 16 for the
descriptions of items 1 to 8 in illustration.

VENTILATION

• Heat from the exhaust builds up quickly. Built up of
hot exhaust will cause the electronic equipment to
overheat, to reduce power, or to shutdown.

• Recommendations:

• Install ventilation fan or fans to quickly remove hot

exhaust from the cabinet. (Illustration, item 4)

• Verify in the final installation that the ambient

temperature for the induction components during
operation is below 40oC or 104oF.

ELECTRICAL:

• NOTE: National and local electrical codes dictate the
electrical requirements for this type of application. For
example, some jurisdictions allow only a single power
supply connection from an installation and some allow
for a maximum of two power supply connections.
Consult your local authority or electrical contractor for
details.

• Illustration: Each appliance is plugged into a receptacle
and each receptacle is connected to a circuit breaker
(item 7). The circuit breakers are connected to a
single power supply. The breaker box is accessible for
disconnection from the power supply.
