The WRECOIND60 is a plug & play induction hob designed for domestic use, offering efficient and economical cooking technology. It features four cooking zones and can be connected directly to a mains power outlet using a 3-pin (UK) plug, with a default maximum input power of 2800W. For permanent installations, it can be converted to a 6400W output, requiring professional electrical installation and cable replacement.

Installation:
The hob requires a work surface cutout of 565mm (A) x 495mm (B) with a minimum thickness of 18mm. A minimum of 50mm space (X) must be preserved around the hole. The work surface material and adhesive must be heat-resistant. Adequate ventilation is crucial, with air intake (D) and air exit (E) requirements of 20mm and 5mm respectively. For 13amp connections, minimum clearances for A, B, and C are 500mm, 10mm, and 20mm. For 32amp connections, A, B, and C remain the same. If no cooker hood is installed, a safety distance of at least 500mm between the hotplate and the cupboard above is required. If a cooker hood is installed, refer to its manual for specific safety distances. The hob should be placed on a stable, smooth surface during installation, and force should not be applied to the controls. The work surface must be square, level, and made of heat-resistant material. If installed above an oven, the oven must have a built-in cooling fan. The power supply cable must not be accessible through cupboard doors or drawers. A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply, with a 3mm air gap contact separation in all poles, must be incorporated into the permanent wiring and easily accessible. The cut edge of the worktop should be sealed with silicone or PTFE before fitting the hob. A supplied seal (02) should be stretched and stuck along the underside edge of the hob, ensuring the ends overlap. The hob is then positioned into the cut-out and gently pressed downwards to ensure a good seal. Adhesives should not be used to fix the hob into the worktop.
Software Configuration (for permanent wiring conversion):
- Turn on the hob (ON/OFF key); '-' will show on each cooking zone.
- Touch the front left zone key and Timer key together for 3 seconds; hob will beep and show '5' in the timer display.
- Touch the Timer key once; display changes to '5E'.
- Touch the front left zone key and Timer key again; two front zones show '2' and '8' (factory setting for 2800W).
- Touch the front left zone key to switch display to '6' and '4' (high power at 6400W).
- Touch the Timer key again to finish configuration.
The hob can be converted back to a plugged version by repeating these steps.
Usage Features:
The hob uses touch controls, responding to the ball of the finger. Controls must be clean and dry.
