This is the Lincat IH21 counter-top induction hob with 2 cooking plates arranged as 2 round hob zones. Its GTIN and barcode are 5056105101840, providing an exact identifier for ordering and stock checks.

The IH21 supplies 3kW total across its 2 cooking zones. Its high-power twin-zone design delivers almost twice the cooking power of a similarly rated gas hob. In normal use, the rear zone is rated at 2.0kW and the front at 1.0kW; boost raises them to 3.0kW and 1.8kW respectively, while total heat input remains limited to 3kW.

No. The portable counter-top IH21 has a UK three-pin plug and requires no hardwiring. Its electrical rating is 3kW, 13A on a 230V single-phase supply, so it can be moved between suitable outlets while keeping the plug and socket accessible. Its induction design also supports energy-efficient cooking and a safe, comfortable working environment.

The IH21 measures 115 mm high, 350 mm wide and 654 mm deep. Its compact 350 mm width makes it practical where counter space is limited, including event-catering and front-of-house cooking positions.

The IH21 combines a silver stainless-steel body and finish with a 6 mm impact-resistant Schott Ceran glass-ceramic cooking surface. The durable surface is designed to withstand hard knocks and is straightforward to wipe clean after service.

Pan detection prevents a coil from energising without suitable cookware and turns the coil off when the pan is removed. This reduces unnecessary energy use and heat in the work area, although the hob should still be switched off at its control after use.

Use flat-based magnetic cookware such as cast iron, enamelled steel or magnetic stainless steel. The recommended minimum base diameter is 180 mm on the rear zone and 120 mm on the front, with each pan centred over its glass target ring.

Rotary controls and LED displays provide nine power levels, low-temperature hold, automatic heat-up, control lock, pan detection and residual-heat indication. Boost runs on one coil at a time for up to 10 minutes before returning to level 9, subject to safe internal temperature.

The IH21 has a maximum temperature of 190°C. Its electronic controls allow operators to adjust the two cooking zones, while the residual-heat display warns when the hob top remains above 60°C after a pan is removed.

Install it level with its vents unobstructed and keep surrounding partitions, walls and furniture non-combustible. Maintain at least 100 mm clearance at each side and 1000 mm above the appliance so cooling airflow and safe working space are preserved.

Disconnect the hob before cleaning. Use warm water and mild detergent on the panels, then dry with a soft cloth. Clean the glass with a suitable ceramic-hob scraper, sponge or cleaner; do not use abrasives, a water jet, a steam cleaner or immersion.

An internal cooling fan and overheat protection help manage operating temperature. The replaceable air filter is built into the base for convenient access; keeping it clean and maintaining unobstructed airflow helps prevent overheating-related shutdowns.

The IH21 includes a 2-year parts and labour warranty, supporting the appliance during its initial period of commercial operation.
