How To Use the Hotplates
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a
fast transmission of heat in the vertical
direction, from the heating elements
underneath the ceramic glass to the
pans set upon it.
The heat does not spread in the horizontal direction, so that the glass stays
“cool” at only a few centimeters from the
cooking plate.
The 4 cooking plates are shown by dark
disks on the ceramic surface.
