Overview

Woodson WI.HBCT.1.3500 Induction Cooktop 3.5kW Single Hob

The Woodson WI.HBCT.1.3500 is a 3,500W single-hob commercial induction cooktop designed to deliver rapid, precise and energy-efficient heat in demanding kitchen environments. Built on advanced induction technology, it transfers energy directly to compatible cookware, reducing ambient heat in the kitchen and offering significant energy savings over gas or conventional hotplate cooking. It suits pots and pans with a base diameter of 120mm to 260mm and connects via a standard 15A, 240V plug and lead for straightforward installation.

The cooktop features a high-impact SCHOTT CERAN glass-ceramic surface that is both durable and simple to clean after service. Operators can choose between precise power settings (0 to 10 in single-digit increments) or temperature control from 60°C to 240°C via a clear LED display with digital touch controls, while a built-in timer allows timed cooking up to 180 minutes with an audio alert on completion. Multiple integrated safety and protection systems make this unit a reliable workhorse for restaurants, hotels, catering operations and buffet service.
