Smeg - SA661X-2 - 60cm Ceramic Cooktop

SA661X-2

FOUR-ZONE 60CM CERAMIC COOKTOP

EXTENSION ZONE

Out of a compact 140mm diameter, 1100 watt heat zone (near right) at the click of the control knob a concentric expansion zone grows. This larger circular zone, now with a diameter of 210mm and an additional 1300 watts, is perfect for the placement of cooking utensils such as the larger boilers, saucepans and frypans.

MICROTHERMIC INSULATION

The ribbon element rests on a microtherm insulation bed which is moulded to a corrosive-resistant metal dish. The sides of this dish are further insulated by a bonded ceramic fibre wall. All this insulation ensures that the energy (heat) created is not dissipated or radiated outward and downward but vertically to the ceramic cooking zone. The ceramic glass outside the specified zone is safe to touch provided an oversized utensil has not externally transferred heat outside this zone.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL

Precise and sustainable temperature (thermostat) settings are possible via the infinitely-variable controls. The edge weighting and microtherm insulation have eliminated the widely-varying reheat power surges, ensuring very controllable, fast, efficient cooking, whether it be vigorous boiling and stir-frying, or the gentlest of simmering.

RESIDUAL HEAT SAFETY

Centre-front are four indication circles. These illuminate whenever one of the four respective cooking zones has a surface temperature at or above 60 degrees Celsius. This visually prominent area helps ensure safety in the vicinity of the cooktop.
