Apuro HT764-A Heavy Duty Commercial Induction Hob 5kW | Hardwired

Accelerate boiling and pan-searing speeds, slash commercial kitchen ambient heat loads, and cut ongoing utility overheads with the Apuro HT764-A Heavy-Duty Commercial Induction Hob. Purpose-engineered for high-turnover Australian restaurant cooklines, hotel banquet kitchens, boutique cafes, catering operations, and institutional dining halls, this 398 mm wide heavy-duty benchtop induction cooker delivers an energetic 5.0 kW of direct electromagnetic heating power across an expansive cooking zone, accommodating induction-compatible cookware ranging from 120 mm up to 320 mm in diameter.

High-Output 5.0kW Electromagnetic Power & Superior Energy Efficiency

Traditional open-flame gas burners and resistive electric hotplates waste up to 50% of their heat energy into the surrounding kitchen atmosphere, forcing exhaust canopies and air-conditioning systems to work overtime. The Apuro HT764-A channels 5.0 kW of electromagnetic energy directly into the ferrous base of the pot or pan, achieving thermal efficiency ratings exceeding 85% to 90%. Chefs get rapid stockpot boiling, fierce wok-style sautéing, and instant temperature response while keeping the cookline significantly cooler, safer, and more comfortable during peak dinner rushes.

Reinforced 6mm Ceramic Glass Top & Commercial Stainless Steel Chassis

Heavy stockpots, cast-iron skillets, and rapid pan tossing demand uncompromising structural durability. The HT764-A is topped with an industrial-grade 6 mm thick heavy-duty ceramic glass plate supported by a rugged commercial stainless steel chassis. The sealed, seamless glass top resists thermal shock and physical impact while preventing grease, sauces, and boil-overs from seeping into internal electronics. At the end of service, the smooth glass surface wipes clean in seconds with zero burnt-on carbon grates to scrub, satisfying strict Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) Standard 3.2.2 Food Safety Practices.

Digital Touch Controls, Precision Temperature Regulation & Countdown Timer

Delicate reductions, simmering jus, and clarified butter emulsions require exact thermal stability without scorching. The front-mounted digital touch control panel allows chefs to dial in precise power increments, regulate holding temperatures accurately, and set an integrated countdown timer for repeatable batch cooking. When the set duration finishes, the hob automatically switches off or alerts staff, minimising the risk of boiled-dry pots or burnt sauces during busy service passes.

Automatic Pan Detection & Integrated Grease Air Filter

Energy conservation and component longevity are built directly into the electronics. The HT764-A features intelligent automatic pan detection that cuts power draw the instant a pan is lifted off the ceramic zone, eliminating idle electricity waste and reducing stress on internal induction coils. To protect internal cooling fans from airborne kitchen oil vapour and flour dust, the chassis incorporates an integrated removable air filter, ensuring reliable performance shift after shift.

Technical Specifications

Cookware Compatibility Guide

Induction hobs generate heat via an electromagnetic field and require induction-compatible (ferromagnetic) cookware:

• Compatible Materials: Cast iron, enamelled cast iron, magnetic stainless steel (such as 18/0 or multi-ply induction-base stainless), and carbon steel pans.

• Incompatible Materials: Pure aluminium, copper, glass, ceramic, and non-magnetic 304/18/10 stainless steel without an encapsulated magnetic base.

• Quick Magnet Test: If a standard fridge magnet sticks firmly to the flat underside of your pot or pan, it is suitable for use on the Apuro HT764-A. Ensure the pan base is flat and measures between 120 mm and 320 mm in diameter.

Daily Care, Cleaning & Maintenance Guidelines

To protect the 6 mm ceramic glass top, keep internal electronics cool, and comply with commercial food hygiene regulations:

1. Power Isolation & Cool-Down: Always switch the digital touch panel off, isolate the wall-mounted electrical rotary switch, and allow residual heat transferred from hot pans onto the ceramic glass to cool down before cleaning.

2. 6mm Ceramic Glass Surface Cleaning: Wipe down the glass cooking surface after every service using warm water, a mild commercial food-safe degreaser, and a soft microfibre cloth. For baked-on boil-overs, use a dedicated non-abrasive ceramic glass scraper held at a shallow 30-degree angle. Never use steel wool, abrasive green scouring pads, or harsh caustic oven sprays that can scratch or etch the glass.

3. Integrated Air Filter Maintenance (Critical): The air intake filter located beneath or at the rear of the unit prevents grease and dust from entering the cooling fans. Remove and wash the filter weekly in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before refitting. Never operate the induction hob without the air filter installed.

4. Stainless Steel Body Care: Wipe down external stainless steel panels daily with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a neutral commercial cleaner, wiping in the direction of the metal grain.

5. Impact Protection: Never drop heavy stockpots or cast-iron pans onto the 6 mm ceramic glass surface, and avoid sliding rough-bottomed cast iron pans across the glass to prevent cosmetic scratching.

6. Washdown Safety Precautions: Never spray the induction hob, air intake vents, or digital touch panel with high-pressure washdown hoses or commercial pre-rinse guns. Wipe clean using damp, well-wrung cloths only.

Commercial Kitchen Placement & Electrical Installation Guidelines

The Apuro HT764-A is engineered for commercial cooklines, buffet live-cooking stations, and catering passes:

1. Hardwired Commercial Electrical Installation: Drawing 5.0 kW on single-phase 220–240V power, this heavy-duty appliance does not come with a standard 10A or 15A plug. Installation must be performed by a licensed commercial electrician, connecting the unit via an appropriately rated circuit breaker and local isolation switch in strict compliance with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules.

2. Level, Non-Magnetic Countertop Placement: Position the 9.48 kg unit on a flat, level, structurally sound commercial stainless steel prep bench. Ensure all rubber feet sit firmly on the worktop to keep the unit stable during vigorous pan sautéing.

3. Ventilation & Airflow Clearances: Induction hobs rely on internal cooling fans to regulate the temperature of their IGBT power modules. Maintain at least 100 mm to 150 mm of unobstructed airspace around the sides, rear, and underneath the unit so warm exhaust air vents freely and cool intake air is not restricted by bench cloths or trays.

4. Thermal & Moisture Separation: Avoid placing the hob directly adjacent to open-flame gas burners, deep fryers, or scullery sinks where excessive radiant heat or water splashes could compromise internal electronics.

5. Magnetic Field Precaution: Operators with pacemakers or implanted medical devices should consult their physician regarding proximity to commercial electromagnetic induction equipment. Keep magnetic stripe cards, smartphones, and metal utensils off the active cooking glass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Apuro HT764-A plug into a standard Australian 10 Amp or 15 Amp power point?

No. Because this heavy-duty commercial induction hob delivers a powerful 5.0 kW output, it exceeds standard plug ratings and must be hardwired to a dedicated single-phase 220–240V circuit by a licensed commercial electrician.

What size pots and pans can I use on this induction hob?

The cooking zone is engineered to accommodate flat-bottomed, induction-compatible pots and pans with base diameters ranging from 120 mm up to 320 mm.

How does automatic pan detection save energy?

When you lift a pan off the glass surface to plate food or toss ingredients, the induction sensors immediately detect the absence of ferrous metal and pause power output. Heating resumes the instant the pan is placed back on the glass, eliminating idle power consumption and preventing heat waste.

How thick is the ceramic glass top, and is it durable enough for commercial kitchens?

The HT764-A is fitted with an extra-thick 6 mm heavy-duty commercial ceramic glass plate (significantly thicker than domestic 4 mm glass), engineered specifically to support heavy commercial stockpots and endure daily restaurant wear.

Why does the hob have an integrated air filter?

Commercial induction electronics generate internal heat that must be cooled by internal fans. The integrated air filter traps airborne cooking grease, flour dust, and lint before they can coat internal circuit boards, ensuring reliable operation shift after shift.

What commercial warranty is provided with the Apuro HT764-A?

The unit is backed by a comprehensive Commercial Parts and Labour Warranty across Australia.
