How The Cooking Zones Work - Miele CS 1134 Operating And Installation Instructions

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. See illustrations.
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, the
heat switches on and the element can
be seen through the ceramic surface.
The temperature of the cooking zones
depends on the power level selected,
and is electronically regulated. This
controls the "timing" of a cooking zone,
switching the element on and off.
