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.
