How the cooking zones work
24
Single circle cooking zones have one
heating element, whilst double circle
cooking zones and extended zones
have two. Depending on the model, the
heating elements may be separated by
an insulating ring.
Each cooking zone has overheating
protection (a temperature limiter), which
stops the ceramic surface from
becoming too hot (see “Overheating
protection”).
When a power level is selected, heating
is activated and the glowing heater
element can be seen through the
ceramic surface. The heater rating of
the cooking zones depends on the
power level selected, and is
electronically regulated. The “timing” of
the cooking zone is controlled by
switching the element on and off.
