Working Principle
Product Introduction
1
The induction hotplate is mainly composed of an induced heating coil,
hotplate made of ferromagnetic materials and control system. In principle,
current generates a powerful magnetic field via the coil. Large numbers
of vortexes are produced in the way that the magnetic lines in the field
contact the bottom containing iron or stainless steel substances. The
tremendous energy generated by the vortexes can heat the food directly
by converting efficiency heat energy penetrating through the bottom.
Midea MC-IF686 induction hotplate can meet various of cuisine demands
by electromagnetic heating, with micro-computerized control and multifunctions, really the optimal choice for modern families.
Midea induction hotplate centers on customers and adopts personalized
design. Made of imported materials and through advanced process, the
unit has safe and reliable performances, making your life comfortable
and enabling to fully enjoy the pleasure of life.

Installation
Selection of installation equipment
Drill holes on the table surface according to the sizes shown in the
drawing. For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 50 mm
space shall be preserved around the hole.
Be sure the thickness of the table surface is at least 30mm. Please
select heat-resistant table material to avoid larger deformation caused
by the heat radiation from the hotplate.

You may have multiple appliances suitable for heating.
This induction hotplate is able to identify multiple heating appliances, and you
can test them according to one of the following methods:
Place the appliance in the heating zone. If the corresponding heating zone
displays a power level, it shows the suitability of the appliance; if “U” flashes, it
shows the appliance does not fit in the induction cooking.
Have a magnet to contact the appliance. If there is attraction between them, it
shows the appliance also fits in the induction cooking.
Requirement for pot material: the bottom contains materials of magnetic
conductivity.
Requirement for shape: flat bottom, more than 12 cm in diameter.
