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.

After.....the drawer being taken out for changes........

These few days have been a bitter sweet moment for me. Have been busy running around town looking for the best deals for my kitchen appliances like kitchen hobs, hoods, oven and fridge. As I do not have a wet kitchen, I need to find the best possible hood that has the highest rate of efficiency in filtering out the greasy oil and smoke for my dry kitchen. Here is what I got........

Fujioh 1000LVD, I chose white to compliment my white acrylic kitchen table top and orangy kitchen cabinets.

Even though it is a bit expensive, I am please with its performance. It has the highest rate of 95 % efficiency level and low noise. As I hate cleaning, this model has only 2 pieces of silicon coated aluminium filter which are easy to clean.

The next thing I bought is a hob. As I am using a halogen stove now, I do not want to go back to using a gas stove. So I got myself an induction hob for easy cleaning too besides having more storage space instead of a gas tank. After looking around I still get the best deal from Fujihome hob.

This is how it looks...........

It comes with a hard to break Schott vitro-ceramic top for easy cleaning , overtime and overheating detector for automatic shutoff, fast cooling features on hob surface after cooking, and hob will automatically shut off for incompatible utensils that are put on the hob surface. I love it for its sleek and flat surface look. It also comes with a free gift of a stainless steel wok that solves my problem of looking for the right wok.
