This Smeg 60cm electric cooktop has a black ceramic surface with bevelled edging and features high speed cooking with visible high heat in three seconds and full heat obtained in less than seven seconds, economies are achieved by the time saving and the efficient fast use of energy.

Microtherm 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.

Space Saving Design
Two pairs of cooking zones are diagonally positioned for ergonomic access and maximum space efficiency.

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.

Low Maintenance
This longest of wearing cooktop surfaces is cleaned easily with wipe-over cream cleansers and a non-abrasive cloth. Ceramic glass conditioners are available. The control knobs are easily removable for improved cleaning access. The raised trim and gaskets around the control knob shafts should contain any accidental spills and boilovers within the hob area for easy sponging up, and protect the electrical componentry below the ceramic surface.
