Smeg 60cm Ceramic Cooktop SA661X-2

SMEG SA661X-2 | 60CM Classic Ceramic Electric Cooktop Black

This 60cm Ceramic Electric Cooktop is designed in Italy with Smeg's Classic aesthetics and black ceramic glass finish. It features 4 cook zones and residual heat indicators. You can also easily control the heat level with its 4 front control knobs.

EXTENSION ZONE
Out of a compact 140mm diameter, 1100 watt heat zone (near right) at the click of the control knob a concentric expansion zone grows. This larger circular zone, now with a diameter of 210mm and an additional 1300 watts, is perfect for the placement of cooking utensils such as the larger boilers, saucepans and frypans.

MICROTHERMIC 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.

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.
