I jst buy sugawa induction cooker. The sales gal say no need to buy a hood. want to know izzit true?

Thanks so much for the info. Now I have a better idea on how to proceed with confidence. That gives me more options than to just rely on ipoh dealers.

Any idea what is the range of cost for installing a hood? If I do not want top cabinets (planning to opt for open shelves), can the exhaust duct go through the ceiling?

    Agreed!

Has anyone used Rinnai induction cooker before? I am planning to get either Rinnai or Rubine induction cooker.

she said cooking sure got smoke come out, but use induction cooler, the smoke is not oily. She said if we use hob to cook, the oily smoke is come from the gas. I not sure whether is bullshit or wat 

No offense. Maybe you should ask her to demo fried chicken using induction and ask her to walk barefoot on her kitchen floor after that.

Hi mcloudteo,

We used to have a gas hob with stainless steel and we find it difficult to clean away the stain as per photo, nd to use special cleaner and scrub.


I m using GCG 90301 as well for 6 months and it was OK but one day my grandma left a wet pot (after washing) on the hob for it to dry overnight and it rusted. Most hobs nowadays will provide cast iron wok support for better duribility but never ever ppl complain it rust as when we are cooking the flame will burn away all the water and without water it will not rust. GCG series burners are made of cast iron as well, it shouldn't rust unless there is water on the burner. However, if it did rust there is an easy and proven method to remove it as below


Burn the burner as per my photo for 5 minutes, leave it to cool down for minimum 30 minutes. The flame will burn away the rust and after it cools down, jus get a piece of cloth, add a little olive oil and wipe away the rust (rust should turn blackish and could b wiped of easily without scrubbing) I cleaned it once and til now it looks OK. Why olive oil? recommended online but i did try normal cooking oil on another burner it works fine as well. Jus a thin layer will do.

Do not leave wet pots on the hob for any brand as it could clog up the nozzles, cause wok support to rust and may b cause ignition pin to spoil faster.

Normal burner heads are made of alloy while Fotile, ONLY GCG series burners are made of cast iron which is very HEAVY DUTY As the burner head is made of cast iron, hence it is black in color and u do not have to worry it turning black. Silver burner heads are made of alloy will eventually have black spots (burned stain) and they are very hard to clean.

Do not burn your normal burner head as per my photo, the silver part will turn black and the burner might deform as photo below

Here is a photo of my Fotile GCG90301 before and after cleaning (BURNING) and coating with a thin layer of olive oil. Dont really have to use olive oil if u cook frequent as the oil will wear off fast. The olive oil is to make the burner look shining black like brand new.

where do you guys buy the ducting and wall cap?
need 150mm/6in diameter hose

And do you ever have any cockroaches climbing inside? even with the wire netting, I think its not fine enough to prevent them from entering 

I m terribly sorry bro, this installer has been installing our hoods for several years and had been reliable until recently World Cup. I already warned him not to be late this time and will remind him again on thursday and friday morning.

Normally the built-in oven uses 13 A or 15 A plug?  Is it safe to use 13 A plug if 15 A is required?

Hi, do anyone has any idea whether i can get the Rubine's Boxline 2 charcoal filter replacement or not?

Thanks
