How to use the vitroceramic hob

Fig. 13

Fig. 12

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
sat on 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 5 cooking plates are shown by dark
disks on the ceramic surface.

3 circuits hotplate

Incorporating 3 heating elements you can
control and light up all together or sepa­rately by a 6 position switch.
Reaches the working temperature in a very
short time.

Fig. 14

Double and oval radiant
zones

The heating element is formed of a coil of
resistant material which reaches the work­ing temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is con­trolled by a continuous energy regulator
from “1” to “12” (maximum temperature)
(fig. 14).

By switching on the second element (fig.
15 and 16), the surface area of the rear
right and central radiant zones can be
extended.
For this purpose, turn the control knob

(fig.

14)fully to the right (position

).
