how to use the vitroceramic hob
VITROCERAMIC 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 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 during all settings to protect the ceramic glass from overheating.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature lim- iter to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.
