elements

These 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 actually see the

power they are providing.

the

heating

elements

The circular radiant heating elements become red 10 -

20 seconds after they have been switched on.

The circular halogen heating elements guarantee even

heat distribution in addition to the usual advantages

that halogen heating elements bring.

H

alogen lamps emit high levels of heat and light as

soon as they are switched on, offering the following

practical advantages:

· rapid heating (in relation to a gas burner)

· rapid cooling

· even temperature across the whole surface (due to

the circular heating elements)

o not stare directly at the halogen heating elements.

b

• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they

adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large

enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all

the heat produced.

• Always make sure that the base of the pan is

completely clean and dry: this ensures that the

pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and

that both the pans and the hob remain effective for

a longer period of time.

• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas

burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may

have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to

adhere to the surface correctly.

•

N

ever leave a cooking zone switched on without a

pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone to

become damaged.
