Please note: Smeg ceramic cooktops are highlyefficient cooking surfaces. They are at their most efficient with flat-based cooking vessels. We recommend stainless steel exterior based vessels

— that is, the surface of the vessel making contact

with the ceramic surface be of stainless steel. This flat stainless steel surface will help preserve the unblemished look of the ceramic surface and help avoid scratching and permanent marking. Highquality cast-iron surfaces may also be suitable.

HIGH-SPEED COOKING

With visible high heat in three seconds and full heat obtained in only

7.12 seconds, economies are achieved by the time saving and the efficient fast use of energy.

SPACE-SAVING DESIGN

Two pairs of cooking zones are diagonally positioned for ergonomic access and maximum space efficiency. For instance, a large pot, frypan or flat-based wok would be perfectly positioned front-left on the 180mm diameter zone and well away from the controls. The space in between could be occupied by a smaller utensil on the 145mm diameter zone.

EXTENSION ZONE

Out of a compact 140mm diameter, 1100 watt heat zone (near right) at the click of the control knob a concentric expansion zone grows. This larger circular zone, now with a diameter of 210mm and an additional 1300 watts, is perfect for the placement of cooking utensils such as the larger boilers, saucepans and frypans.

EDGE WEIGHTING

Improving cooking efficiency means improving the rate of heat transference from the element to the cooking utensil. Most utensils are made with a slight bow in the centre so the greatest contact with the ceramic surface is actually around the perimeter of the utensil. Hence,

Smeg’s ribbon element configuration ‘weights’ heat towards the edge of

the zone, providing the most efficient means of cooking.

MICROTHERMIC INSULATION

The ribbon element rests on a microtherm insulation bed which is moulded to a corrosive-resistant metal dish. The sides of this dish are further insulated by a bonded ceramic fibre wall. All this insulation ensures that the energy (heat) created is not dissipated or radiated outward and downward but vertically to the ceramic cooking zone. The ceramic glass outside the specified zone is safe to touch provided an oversized utensil has not externally transferred heat outside this zone

THERMOSTAT CONTROL

Precise and sustainable temperature (thermostat) settings are possible via the infinitely-variable controls. The edge weighting and microtherm insulation have eliminated the widely-varying reheat power surges, ensuring very controllable, fast, efficient cooking, whether it be vigorous boiling and stir-frying, or the gentlest of simmering.

RESIDUAL HEAT SAFETY

Centre-front are four indication circles. These illuminate whenever one of the four respective cooking zones has a surface temperature at or above 60 degrees Celsius. This visually prominent area helps ensure safety in the vicinity of the cooktop.

INSTALLATION

With only a 53mm displacement into the benchtop, the cooktop allows for easy installation underbench of either oven, dishwasher, cupboard or drawers

LOW MAINTENANCE

This longest of wearing cooktop surfaces is cleaned easily with wipe-over cream cleansers and a non-abrasive cloth. Ceramic glass conditioners are available. The control knobs are easily removable for improved cleaning access. The raised trim and gaskets around the control knob shafts should contain any accidental spills and boilovers within the hob area for easy sponging up, and protect the electrical componentry below the ceramic surface.

CANALI DESIGN

This cooktop fits within a large and comprehensive range of Smeg appliances with complementing aesthetics. The architectural detail Guido Canali makes possible the matching of appliances, including the dishwasher.
