Before Using Your Solid Disk Module for the First Time
The top working surface of solid disk elements have a protective coating
which must be hardened before using the elements for the first time. To
harden this coating, the elements should be briefly heated without a pan
(the coating will stick to the pan). Heat the elements for approximately
5 minutes at HI setting until the smoking stops (this is normal). Heating of
the element will change the stainless steel element trim rings to a gold color.
THE ELEMENT'S PROTECTIVE COATING MUST BE HARDENED
TO HELP PROTECT THE ELEMENT OVER ITS LIFE.

General Information About Solid Disk Elements
Using a solid disk element is quite similar to using an
electric open coil element. You will enjoy the benefits
of prolonged heat retention for cooking with both
types of cooking elements. However, there are
important differences:
Unlike electric coi 1 surface units, solid disk elements
do NOT red hot, even at HI setting. You may,

distribution. Since solid disk elements hold heat
longer, you may wish to turn the element off sooner,

SOLID DISK MODULE
How to Remove the Module
Be sure the entire module surface is cool before
attempting to remove the module. The solid disk
elements will retain heat after the controls have been
turned off. Be careful not to get burned on a module
that has not had sufficient time to cool after use.
1.
Lift the finger tab at the outside edge of the module
until the module base clears the cooktop opening.
2. Hold the module by the front and rear edges. Carefully
slide the module away from the cooktop center until
the module plug is disengaged from the receptacle.
The red dot in the center of the solid disk element
indicates built-in temperature limiters that
automatically reduce the heat if a pan boils dry, if
the element is turned on without a pan or if the pan
is not making enough contact with the surface of the
element. The red dots will wear off with use without
affecting the performance of the elements.
