VITROCRAMIC HOB

The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direc- tion, from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set on it. The heat does not spread in the horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a few centimetres from the cooking plate.

The 2 cooking zones are shown by disks on the ceramic surface.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches ON/OFF the element in all settings to protect any overheating of the ceramic glass.

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.

“3 CIRCUITS” RADIANT ZONES (Fig. 3.8)

The heating element consists of 3 electrical resistances which can operate together or separately according to the setting of the 7-position switch (fig. 3.7).

It reaches the required temperature very quickly.
