One-ring burners use one heating strip,
and two-ring burners and grill zones
use two heating strips. Depending on
the model, the heating strips may be
separated by a certain distance. See
the illustrations.
Every burner is equipped with overheat
protection (inside temperature limiter),
to prevent the glass ceramic combiset
from overheating (see the section on
"Overheat protection").
When you select a power setting, the
heating element switches on and you
will see the heating strip through the
combiset.
The power setting determines how hot
the burner will get, and this is
electronically regulated. This means
that the burner will switch on and off as
needed to maintain the selected power
level.
