Description of the heating elements

The radiant heating elements are composed of circular

heating elements. They only become red after being turned

on for 10-20 seconds.

Instructions for using the pyroceram top

To obtain the best results from your hob, there are some

basic rules to follow when cooking or preparing food.

·

All types of pots and pans may be used on the ceramic

glass cooktop. However, the bottom surface must be

perfectly flat (see Fig. A). Naturally, the thicker the

bottom of the pot or pan, the more uniformly the heat

is distributed.

Fig. A

·

Make sure that the base of the pan completely covers

the cooking ring, so as to make full use of the heat

produced (Fig. B)

Fig. B

·

Always make sure that the pan base is always dry and

clean so as to guarantee proper contact as well as

longer-lasting pans and the long life-span of the hob.

·

Do not use the same pans which are used for cooking

on gas burners. The heat strength of gas burners may

deform the pan base and will not give the same results

if it is subsequently used on a glazed ceramic hob.
