Solid Disk Element
Module
Solid disk elements are easy to
clean because the element is raised
above the Imodule and sealed to it.
Food spills cannot flow under the
cookware or the element. Spills
stay on the module surface where
they cool and are easy to wipe up.
Be sure the controls are off and
the module and elements are cool
before handling or cleaning. The
when they are hot.
The trim rings around the elements
are stainless steel and may be
cleaned with a stainless steel
cleaner.
When cleaning solid elements:
Rub in the direction of the
circular ridges.
Rinse completely and wipe dry.
Turn elements on to dry
completely and prevent rust.
After the elements have been
cleaned, heated to dry and cooled,
wish to use a paper towel
to apply a small amount of non-
stick, salt-free cooking oil. Use a
clean paper towel to remove any
excess oil. Expect a little smoking
the next time the elements are
turned on.
The solid elements can be cleaned
with scouring powder or a
pad the same way as
scouring
cleaning a cast-iron skillet.
If the elements have been scoured
or if they appear dull, oil them
when cool with a non-stick, salt-
free cooking oil. Oiling the
elements from time to time will
maintain their good appearance
and help protect them from rust.
It is normal for cast iron to lose its
luster as it ages. This will not
affect performance or durability of
the element.
(continued)
You can also buy products (such as
EGO Electrol'" or Rutland Paste")
elements. Follow the manufacturers'
instructions on the packages.
The red dot in the center of each
element can be removed by
scouring. The dot is for factory
identification only and removing it
will not affect performance or
durability of the element.
Because the elements are cast iron,
they should be kept dry to prevent
rust. Be sure the bottom of your
pan is dry before you put it on the
element. After cleaning the
elements, turn them on a few
minutes to completely dry them.
Radiant Module
With proper care and cleaning,
the radiant module will give you
efficient and satisfactory service.
Remove soiling mineral deposits
from evaporated water spills or
metal rub-off from aluminum
cookware. Otherwise, it will burn
on the surface and cause
permanent discoloration. Follow
directions below carefully in
caring for your module to assure
safe and proper maintenance.
Be sure that controls are turned off
and the module is cool before
cleaning.
Radiant Module Glass Top
Wipe glass clean after each use.
Use an all-purpose, non-abrasive
cleaner. Do not use a dish towel or
sponge to wipe up the module.
They may leave a film of detergent
which can discolor the module
when heated. If this happens,
remove the film with the
recommended cleaner. We
recommend that you use paper
towels or a clean cloth which is
used only for cleaning the module.
Melted materials can cause
permanent damage to the module.
If you accidentally melt anything
onto the module, or boil over foods
with high sugar content, remove it
immediately before the module
cools. Use a razor blade scraper
held carefully with a pot holder;
don't use a wet sponge or cloth
because these can cause steam
burns.
For burned-on spillover:
single-edged razor blade scraper.
Hold the blade at about a 30° angle
to the glass surface and scrape off
the soil.
Scrub with a cooktop cleaning
cream available at Sears or you can
order it by writing to:
ELCO Sales
2545 Palmer Avenue
University Park, IL 60466
Never use abrasive scouring pads
or powders on the glass cooktop.
Plastic mesh pads such as Dobie'"'
may be used.
Stainless Steel Frame
The frame around the glass is
stainless steel. It can be cleaned
using the same methods for
cleaning the glass top. Do not
scrape the metal frame with any
sharp objects or use abrasives as
this will mar the finish.
Porcelain Enameled
Grease Wells
Porcelain enamel can crack or chip
with misuse. It can stain if
spillovers of foods with a high acid
content (such as tomatoes or lemon
juice) are not cleaned up quickly.
When cleaning porcelain grease
wells, be careful not to get the
electrical receptacles wet. Do not
try to fill the wells with water.
