Solid Disk Elements
The solid disk elements are made
of high strength cast-iron alloy. The
trim rings are stainless steel.
The surface has a heat-resistant
coating to preserve the surface of
the element. After the unit cools,
any boiled-over material on the
element should be removed as soon
as possible with a slightly damp
cloth. The element should then be
dried by turning it on for a few
minutes. After it cools, wipe lightly
with cooking oil.
Clean very dirty solid disk
elements with a little cleaning
powder (such as Comet@ cleanser)
or with a scouring pad.
The matte black surface can be
maintained by treating it periodically
with the Cello Electrol" polish
packed with your range. Use the
applicator to apply a very thin
element on high for several minutes
to bake the polish onto the element.
When the element is cool, rub
lightly with a cloth or paper towel
to remove any excess polish. Before
next use, burn off the element by
means of a short preheating period.
A slight amount of smoke
will Gccur.
Cooking and pre-delivery factory
testing will permanently change the
stainless steel trim ring to a gold
of stainless steel and will not affect
the operation or performance of
your elements. The stainless steel
trim ring can be cleaned with a good
quality stainless steel cleaner. This
will also restore the trim ring to its
original color, until it is reheated.
Failure to maintain the solid disk
elements as directed will result in
defacing the surface over a long
period of time, primarily due to
corrosion as the elements are made
of cast-iron construction. .

(continued)
Do not place covers over the solid
disk elements. An element turned
on while the cover is in place can
permanently damage the cooktop.
Covers can also trap moisture which
may cause the elements to rust.
