The cooktop's glass ceramic surface allows rapid
vertical heat transmission from the heating elements
under the cooktop to the pans on it.
The heat does not propagate horizontally and thus the
cooktop remains "cold" just a few centimetres away
from the cooking zone.
The two cooking zones are indicated by two circles
drawn on the glass ceramic surface.
Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is
clean.
ATTENTION
During and after use of the electric hotplates
the cooktop becomes hot.
Keep children away.
"Quick light star" RADIANT ZONES
The heating element is formed of 3 electrical
resistances which can work together or separately
depending on the position of the 7-position
changeover switch.
It reaches the working temperature quickly.
The figure below shows the 3 ways in which the
heating elements can work.
