Fire Magic EL3285 Built-In Outdoor Induction Cooktop
Add an electric cooking surface to an outdoor kitchen for pans and pots compatible with induction heating. The EL3285 uses digital touch controls, seven power levels, temperature control and a timer. Its stainless-steel frame drops into a properly prepared countertop; the included stainless lid protects the cooled surface when not in use.

Required for installation and operation
Provide the electrical supply and enclosure described in the installation manual. Use flat-bottom, magnetic induction-compatible cookware with a bottom at least 4 inches across; an 8-inch diameter is recommended. A licensed electrician must perform electrical installation. Allow the cooling fans to finish before disconnecting power.
Clearances and ventilation
Maintain at least 4 inches from walls or backsplash, 12 inches from adjacent appliances, 2 inches below the unit and 30 inches to overhead construction. Overhead construction must not exceed the manual’s 13-inch depth limit. Follow the manual’s enclosure-material and ventilation diagrams. Two ventilation openings with at least 10 square inches of free area each are recommended; the manufacturer identifies panel 5510-01 as suitable. Preserve access for service and unobstructed cooling airflow.
Optional equipment
Fire Magic recommends exhaust hood 36-VH-7 for cooking ventilation. Fabric cover 3285-4 is an optional protective accessory. These are not included with the cooktop. Select installation accessories only after checking the manual and the intended enclosure.
Care and warranty
Let the cooktop cool before replacing the stainless lid. Clean the surface and filters as directed in the manual. The residential limited warranty covers induction cooktops for three years, excluding electronic components, which have one-year coverage; exclusions and proof-of-purchase conditions apply. Installation and operation must follow the manufacturer documentation and applicable codes.
