How The Cooking Zones Work - Miele CS 1112 E Operating And Installation Manual

How the cooking zones work

One-ring cooking zones use one
heating strip, and two-ring cooking
zones and grill zones use two heating
strips. Depending on the model, the
heating strips may be separated by a
certain distance. See the illustrations.
Every cooking zone is equipped with
overheat protection (inside temperature
limiter), to prevent the glass ceramic
cooktop from overheating (see the
section on "Overheat protection").
When you select a power setting, the
heating element switches on and you
will see the heating strip through the
cooktop.
The power setting determines how hot
the cooking zone will get, and this is
electronically regulated. This means
that the cooking zone will switch on and
off as needed to maintain the selected
power level.
