How To Use Your Hob

Guide to using the hotplates:

The heating elements are circular in shape and turn red in colour 20-30 seconds after they have been turned on.

Mixed halogen zones.

The hob utilises heating elements which are made up of two halogen lamps and a circular heating element. This combination provides ideal heat distribution across the entire surface of the cooking area. Halogen lamps provide an instantaneous emission of a large quantity of light and heat, which means they are:

•a rapid source of heat similar to that provided by gas burners;

•an equally rapid elimination of the heat source. Halogen lamps are extremely easy to use and their operation is similar to that of other heating elements.
