Cooking Hob - Smeg Hob Instructions For The Installer

4. COOKING HOB

Metal objects such as silverware or lids must not be placed on the
cooking hob surface as they can become very hot.
4.1 Cooking zones
The appliance has 5 cooking zones of various
power levels and diameters. Their position is
clearly indicated with circles and the heat is
limited to within the diameters traced on the
glass. The 5 cooking zones are of the HIGH-
LIGHT type, they turn on after a few seconds
and the heating is adjustable using the knob
on the front panel from low to high.
Under each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor which is
powered by an electronic system and which creates a variable magnetic
field. When a pan is positioned within this magnetic field, the high
frequency currents are concentrated directly onto the pan producing the
heat required for cooking the food.
The 5 lights at the front between the cooking zones come on
when one or more heating zones surpasses 60°C. The
lights only go off when the temperature drops below approx.
60°C.
