The Working of the Heating Zones
Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking zones. The zones heat up and
cool down quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive foods. Each heating
zone is equipped with a thermal limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several minutes at full power without a pan on
the heating zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating elements off and on
automatically to avoid any damage to the ceramic glass.
Choice of Saucepans
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the ceramic hob are suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
• Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
• saucepan's manufactured from aluminium (enamelled or machined) or stainless
steel.
• Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan must cover the heating zone
completely.
• saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to reduce cooking time and energy use.
NEVER USE:
• Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as these will extend cooking times, waste
electricity and cause damaging, local hotspots on the glass surface.
• Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
• Pans with damaged or rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.
• Glass or glass ceramic utensils.
