How to use the vitroceramic hob
4
4
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
painted disks on the ceramic surface.
3 CIRCUIT RADIANT ZONES
Incorporating 3 heating elements (fig.
4.2) you can control and light up all 3
together or separately by selecting from
the 6 positions on the control knob (fig.
4.1).
The working temperature required is
reached in a very short time.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The heating elements incorporate a
thermolimiter that switches the element
ON/OFF during all the settings to protect the ceramic glass from overheating.
The use of incorrect pans and/or
wrong pan positioning will cause the
temperature limiter to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of
cooking performance.
