Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking zones. The zones
heat up and cool down quicker, providing greater controllability for
sensitive foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal limiter
which is a safety cut-out which prevents the ceramic glass from
overheating. After several minutes at full power without a pan on the
heating zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating elements off and
on automatically to avoid any damage to the ceramic glass.
It is essential that the saucepans you use on the ceramic hob are suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
Saucepans manufactured from aluminium (enamelled or machined)
or stainless steel.
Correct size saucepans. The base of the pan must cover the heating
zone completely.
Saucepans with lids which are well fitting to reduce cooking time
and energy use.
NEVER USE:
Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as these will extend
cooking times, waste electricity and cause damaging, local hotspots
on the glass surface.
Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
Pans with damaged or rough bases which could scratch the glass
surface.
Glass or glass ceramic utensils.
