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 on it.
The heat does not spread in a horizontal
direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at
only a few centimeters from the cooking
plate.
The 4 cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The heating elements incorporate a
thermolimiter that switches the element
ON & OFF in all 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The temperature limiter can be seen
under the glass dissecting the element.
This is not a fault with the appliance.
