What’s the difference between halogen and radiant zones?
Halogen elements heat up very quickly, while radiant elements provide steady, consistent heat – offering varied approaches.
Does it have a booster function for ultra‑fast heating?
Not specifically mentioned – check if halogen zones effectively mimic booster or see manual.
Can I use all 4 zones simultaneously?
Yes, but total power draw is limited. Ensure your electrical circuit can handle the load.
How do I clean the ceramic surface?
Use a non‑abrasive scraper or ceramic cooktop cleaner once the surface cools. Wipe gently.
Are residual heat indicators displayed per zone?
Typically, each zone has its own indicator to show if it remains hot post‑cooking.
Any child lock or auto shut‑off?
Many touch control cooktops include child lock features – confirm specifics in the manual.
Is stainless steel purely a trim or entire surrounding?
This PRO Series design might have a stainless steel frame or edges – verify official photos or descriptions.
Do I need special cookware?
Regular flat‑bottom pots/pans are fine for halogen/radiant surfaces; no induction pots needed.
What is the max temperature?
Halogen/radiant can exceed 400 °C at the element, though user controls set cooking levels.
