Description of the heating elements

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

Combined halogen and electrical heating elements. The cooktop 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 without compromising the advantages of the halogen lamps. The main character- istic of halogen lamps is that they produce an instantane- ous emission of a large quantity of light and heat, which means:

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 opera- tion is similar to that of other heating elements. Please refer to the table 1.
