Heating elements

Two types of heating element may be installed,
depending on the appliance model: halogen and
radiant elements.
Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the
halogen lamps they contain.
They have similar properties to gas burners: they are
easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly,
allowing you to see the power level instantly.
Radiant elements consist of a series of coils which
allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of the
cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be
performed successfully, for example stews, sauces
or reheated dishes.

Practical advice on using the appliance

To obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully
utilise the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all
the available heat.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is
always clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and
extend the life of both the cooking zones and the
cookware.
