Below the cooktop, there are metal coils or a special ribbon that heats up and transfers the heat – infrared radiation – to the cooktop. Its energy efficiency ratio is 60 to 70%.

Specification. When installing a cooktop with 4 hot plates, we recommend that you check whether the electricity connection is suitable and whether it is not necessary to increase the permitted load.

Energy efficiency. 30% less power consumption than that of an electric cooker with metal hot plates.

Impact on indoor air quality. Soot and deposits are not formed.

Required cookware. It is recommended to use cookware with a thick base that serves as a heat accumulator and with a smooth bottom to avoid damage to the cooktop.

Cooking speed. A relatively long time is required until the water reaches the boiling point.

Safety. The cooker does not turn off automatically.

Fire safety. There is a risk of getting burnt; hot plates cool down much slower than they heat up.

Care. Cleaning the burnt food is not easy; it should be done carefully so as not to scratch the surface.
