Lessons To Be Learned!..........
It is always true to the saying that you always learn from your mistakes. I recently found out that my newly installed expensive induction hob which had been giving me some problems (appliance suddenly stop heating during operation) even after it had been sent for repairs could be due to human errors instead of being faulty as I had thought to be.
After reading the user's manual which had just been given to me after many phonecalls, I begin to suspect that there is not enough ventilation to cool down the hob and so the overheating protection device shut off the operation. And I see that the requirements and specification for ventillation installation are not being followed.
So whose fault is it? Pointing fingers won't solved the problem and I hope this will serve as a lesson to all who are involved with this kind of matter and also to remind those who are still ignorant.
Lessons to be learned :
1) The interior designer must always ask for a manual for a built in specification including for the ventilation before any work is done on the kitchen design.
2) The salesperson must always make sure that a manual of the new hob they sell be provided to the customer or the interior designer to prevent further problems like this on both party.
3) Consumer must make sure that proper ventilation specifications are being done to the cabinets or tabletops before giving the green light for renovations.
Problems: Consumer like me this keeps complaining to the company when the hob keeps shutting down sometimes. The company keeps sending their technicians over. Now my interior designer has to do some changes to my kitchen cabinet.
Before..............
After.....the drawer being taken out for changes........

Wao, your kitchen is very clean with everything tucked away. My kitchen is full of things and so messy, messy, messy. I need to throw, throw, throw...
it pays to read the manual but sometimes i miss to read it too myself lol
they should give you the manual when you first purchase the item.. not after some problems occured.
i was here once again visiting from my blogroll how are u dear?
What band is your induction hob? I have my Brandt 4-zone for 10 years. Mantainence is expensive, almost S$200 to change a zone so now I alway cook with opened door as advised by the service guy.
Pris, the company hv given me a new hob and so far there is no trouble like this again plus I hv airholes in my new drawer. The brand I am using is call Fujihome a very trusted Japanese brand, There is no need for any servicing.
