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.
