Thermador CET Manual De Usuario

Each element has a keep warm setting. The main 

function of the warming feature is to keep hot, cooked 

foods at serving temperatures . Keep warm is not for 

cooking foods.

•  Touch desired element display.

•  Touch PAN SIZE pad, if needed,. Touch keep    

 

warm pad

•  “ L” will appear in element display .

The lower power of the element makes it practical to 

warm a serving platter before adding the hot food, or 

to keep a casserole hot for second helpings.

•  Use pans/utensils with fl at bases. Plates, platters,  

 

and casseroles with a shallow ridge around the   

 

base can be used provided they are made of heat  

 

safe material.

•  Keep dish covered to keep foods hot.

•  Choose pans and utensils that may be safely used  

 

on a hot surface. Example: use Corningware “safe  

 

for range top” rather than Pyrex “not recommend 

 

ed for cooktop use”.

•  Use a trivet or steamer basket underlining inside  

 

of pan when necessary to raise food off bottom   

 

of the pan. Use a small amount of water to steam  

 

tortillas. Do not use a trivet directly on the cook   

 

top. 

Each radiant heating element has it own sensor to 

protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high 

temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically 

by cycling the element off regardless off the cook set-

ting although cycling is normal, anyone of the follow-

ing conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to 

cycle on and off more than usual:

•  The base of the pan is not making full contact    

 

with the heating surface (due to a warped or    

 

uneven base). 

•  The pan is too small for the size of the element.

•  The pan has boiled dry.

•  The material or shape of the pan is slow to trans- 

 

fer the heat.

•  No pan has been placed on the element (CEF and  

 

CET models only or Zone Smart™ turned off on  

 

CEP models.)

Cooktop Operating Instructions

This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon lo-

cated under the glass-ceramic surface to provide the 

heat for cooking. Radiant elements will cycle on and 

off by design. (See Temperatures limiters, below).

There are ten heat settings ranging from 9 ( high) to 

keep warm ( L).

The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon ele-

ments within the same heating area .Either the small 

inner element or both the inner and outer elements 

outer

outer

may be selected for use.

The triple element consists of three radiant ribbon ele-

ments within the same heating area. Either the small 

inner element, the 

inner

inner

inner and 

inner

inner

middle elements or the 

inner, middle and outer elements may be selected.

The bridge element consists of 3 separate elements 

that can be operated in 2 different ways:

•  Use of either one or both of the circular elements  

 

independently.

•  Use of both circular elements plus the Bridge ele- 

 

ment simultaneously with a single control.

When all 3 elements are used, it creates an oblong 

heating area. This oblong shape is ideal for griddles, 

open roasters and poachers. Pans should have a fl at 

bottom and match the bridge cooking area as closely 

as possible.

To use the Bridge elements, touch center area 

between the two elements in the control panel area. 

Touch cook setting indicator.

•  Touch the element display for appropriate ele-   

 

ment.

•  Touch cook setting indicator.
