DOMESTIC APPLICATIONS Glass ceramic cooking hobs require radiant heating elements. The principle of radiant operation is based on the use of coiled heating wires mounted on an insulated support fitted into a metal pan. The assembly is installed below the glass ceramic cook top. The heating wires have an average operating temperature of approximately 1000°C. A thermostat prevents the temperature of the glass hob from exceeding 600°C. The heating wires and the insulating support have been designed not to stop the infrared radiations upwards, but reducing as much as possible side leakage and ensuring high global efficiency. Recent technological innovations have led to the partial replacement of heating wires with halogen lamps mainly with an infrared energy spectrum. These heating elements enable the appliance to reach the operating temperatures on the cooking hob within very short times. Given the importance attached by customers to esthetical appeal, special care is devoted to the finishing of the different models during the final production stages.
PROFESSIONAL APPLICATIONS These electric heating elements have been specifically developed for professional applications. Their dimensions are suitable for both grill cooking and hot plates. Power range from 500W to 2500W depending on the various dimensions available. Generally speaking, these are single-circuit elements, whose power is regulated by means of an energy regulating device, although they can also feature two or three circuits. These products do not require a temperature limiting device, as the temperature of the glass top is always below 600°C.A specific solution to different requirements permits a vertical or upside-down positioning of the heating element. In any case, the elements are specifically designed and developed to meet any requirement by our customers. This family of products has received VDE approval.
