All about Maunfeld hobs

Built-in kitchen appliances allow you to embody the most daring design fantasies and create at the same time a beautiful and comfortable space. Therefore, it is worth considering the features and range of Maunfeld hobs.

Maunfeld was founded in the UK in 1998. At the same time, only the head office of the company is located in Foggy Albion, and most of its products are manufactured in Italy, France, Poland, Turkey and China. Despite such a wide geography of production, almost all of the company's kitchen appliances have the features of a typical British strict and elegant design.

Also, all products have certificates of compliance with the standards of the Customs Union.

An interesting feature of the company's hobs is that their production facilities are located in different countries. So, all gas equipment of the company is produced at factories located in Turkey, and factories located in Italy and partly in China are engaged in the production of electrical panels.

At the same time, components from leading Western European, Japanese and Korean brands are used in production. Thus, all burners and gas control systems installed on the company's kitchen appliances are manufactured by the well-known SABAF company. Components from the Franco-American concern EuroKera and the German company Schott are used in glass-ceramic products. All steel used in the products is produced by the famous German company ThyssonKrupp.

The use of quality parts allows the company to achieve high quality and reliability of its products. Thanks to this, Maunfeld offers a longer warranty period for its products than most competitors, which for hobs is 3 years.

British firm produces a wide range of built-in panels for all major types of cooking.

• Gas devices, which are most economical both in terms of the price of the panel itself and in terms of the cost of consumed resources (gas is usually cheaper than electricity). Cooking times with gas are also usually shorter than with electric appliances. The main disadvantages are that gas technology is noticeably faster contaminated and covered with bloom from gas combustion products, programmers and other convenient functions are rarely used in it, and besides, it is less safe than electric.
• Electrical panels, which are often equipped with temperature control and cooking duration. Among the disadvantages of such equipment, it is worth noting their high price and operating costs, increased requirements for the quality of electrical wiring and restrictions on the utensils used.
• Glass ceramic modelsthat combine the advantages of electrical options with an elegant design. Such panels have the same drawbacks as electrical ones, and besides, only dishes with a perfectly flat bottom should be used with them.
• Induction options electric panels, in which the burners themselves do not heat up, but only create a magnetic field that induces eddy currents in the bottom of the cookware. This technique is the safest, but usually comes with a high price tag. In addition, only special metal utensils can be used with an induction hob, which limits the possibilities of such a hob.
• Combined panelsthat combine the advantages of gas and electric options, and at the same time allow you to survive outages of electricity or gas.

• EVCE. 775. SM. T-BK - this hob has 5 burners of 2.3, 2 and 1.8 kW and 2 of 1.2 kW.

The most popular induction hobs are:

• EVI. 292-BG with 2 burners with a power of 1.2 and 1.5 kW;
• EVI. 594-BK with 4 burners (2 x 2 kW and 2 x 1.5 kW);
• EVI. 594-FL2-BK - differs from the previous model by the possibility of combining vertically adjacent burners into a bridge with a total power of 2.6 kW.

Finally, among the combined panels, attention is most often paid to the following technique:

• EEHS. 32.3ES / KG - a budget option with a steel body and 1 electric (1.5 kW) and 1 gas (1.7 kW) burners.
• MAUNFELD EEHS. 64.3CS / KG - a model combining 3 gas (2.6, 1.7 and 1 kW) and 1 electric (1.5 kW) burners.
• EEHS. 64.5ES / KG - version with 2 gas (1.75 kW) and 2 electric (1.5 kW) burners.

If economy is most important to you, preference should be given to gas panels. If you are going to often cook complex dishes for which a certain temperature regime is important, you should pay attention to electrical equipment. If safety is your main concern, induction hobs are your choice. Finally, if you want a versatile option, you should consider buying a combination hob. For the repair of its products, the British company recommends using only certified spare parts.

Installing the hobs by yourself will result in the loss of warranty coverage.

Most owners of Maunfeld hobs in their reviews and reviews note their high quality and reliability, compactness and ease of use, as well as elegant design. At the same time, the majority of buyers believe that the cost of the products of the British company compares favorably with the models of most competitors similar in quality and functionality.

The main disadvantage of electric models (in particular, EVCE 292-BK) is considered by many users to be a rather high level of noise accompanying their work (the panel “crackles” more than most similar products).
