Description of cooking areas

Cooking areas - diameter

The cooking areas are clearly marked on the cooktop unit. Only the area which has been turned on will be heated. The rest of the cooktop surface will remain relatively cool.

Residual heat indicator

Each cooking area has a residual heat indicator. When a cooking area is turned on, its residual heat indicator lights up. It only goes out after the cook- ing area has been turned off and the cooking surface has reached a tem- perature safe to the touch.

Temperature limiter

All cooking areas are equipped with a temperature limiter, which turns the heating element off if the temperature under the ceramic surface gets too high.

The temperature limiter turns the heat- ing element on again after the tempera- ture has returned to a safe level.

The temperature limiter operates

. . . when unsuitable cooking utensils are used (e.g. saucepans with uneven bases or which are too small).

. . . when cooking areas are used with- out pots.

The temperature limiter may also be ac- tivated when the utensils are suitable. The reason for this could be light co- lored saucepan bases (heat reflection) or poor transfer of heat from the sauce- pan base to the food.

Important note

While the cooking areas are heating up, a “humming” noise may be no- ticed. This is caused by magnetization of the heating filaments. As the cooking areas heat up, the humming noise will diminish and finally will cease al- together.

For halogen cooking areas only:

The radiant elements work together with the halogen lamps. This gives a quicker heat transfer to the pan base, resulting in a shorter heating-up period.
