OPERATION
Theory
Glass ceramic cooktops require radiant heating elements. The principle of radiant
operation is based on the use of coiled heating wires mounted on an insulated support
fitted into a metal pan installed below the ceramic glass. The heating wires have an
average operating temperature of approximately 1000°C. A thermostat prevents the
temperature of the glass hob from exceeding 600°C. The heating wires and the
insulating support have been designed not to stop the infrared radiations upwards, but
reducing as much as possible side leakage and ensuring high efficiency. These heating
elements enable the appliance to reach the operating temperatures on the cooking
surface in a very short time.
Top Burners Operation
1. To turn on an element, rotate the control knob counter clockwise to the desired
setting.
2. A hot surface light located in the center of the cooktop will illuminate after a
slight delay.
3. To turn off the cooktop, rotate the knob to point upwards.
4. The hot surface light will turn off after the cooking surface has cooled.
