5. Safety Features
Your Bajaj Splendid 120TS Induction Cooktop is equipped with several safety features to ensure a secure cooking environment.
- Voltage Pro Feature: This technology protects the cooktop from damage due to wide voltage fluctuations, operating safely within 130V to 270V.
- Pan Sensor: The cooktop will only generate heat when a compatible cooking vessel is placed on the cooking zone. If no vessel is detected or an incompatible one is used, it will not heat up.
- Cool Touch Surface: Unlike traditional cooktops, the induction surface itself does not generate heat directly. Heat is transferred to the cookware, keeping the surrounding surface relatively cool and reducing the risk of accidental burns.
- Insect Protection: The design incorporates features to minimize the entry of insects, which can prevent internal damage and short circuits.
- Hot Surface Indicator: An indicator light will alert you if the cooking surface is still hot from residual heat after cooking, even though the induction process has stopped.
