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 compro-
mising the advantages of the halogen lamps. The main
characteristic of halogen lamps is that they produce an
instantaneous 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
operation is similar to that of other heating elements.
Please refer to the table 1.

Each cooking area is equipped with a control knob to
regulate the temperature at any time from a minimum of
1 to a maximum of 12. The table 1 provides information
on the settings indicated on the knobs and the corre-
sponding, recommended uses.
This light comes on when one of the heating elements
has been turned on.
This light indicates that the temperature of one or more
cooking areas is above 60°C, even thought the ele-
ments have been turned off. Some models come
equipped with four such indicator lights, one for each of
the four cooking areas.
