Before UsiW Your Solid
Disk Module for the
The top working surface of solid
disk elements have a protective
must
coating which be hardened
before using the elements for the
first time. To harden this coating,
the elements should be heated
without a pan for approximately
5 minutes at HIGH setting.
Otherwise the coating will stick
to the pan.
There will be some smoke and
odor; this is normal. Heating of
the element will change the
stainless steel element trim rings
to a gold color.
T
HE ELEMENT
COATING MUST BE HARDENED
OVER ITS LIFE.

Solid Disk Elemen@
Using a solid disk element is quite
similar to using an electric coil,
with which you probably are
familiar. With both types of surface
units you will enjoy the cleanliness
of electricity and the benefits of
retained heat in the elements.
However, there are differences.
Solid disk elements do NOT
glow red, even at HIGH setting.
Solid disk elements reach
temperature a little slower, and
hold heat longer than conventional
elements. Solid disk elements have
very even heat distribution. Since
solid disk elements hold heat
longer, you may wish to turn the
element off sooner, and take
advantage of the residual heat.
The amount of residud heat is
dependent upon the quantity and -
type of food, the material and
thickness of the pan and the setting
used for cooking.
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.
. There is retained heat in the element.
On boilovers, wait for element to
cool before cleaning element area.
Solid disk element cooking takes
you a step closer to easier cleanup,
because the cooking surface is
sealed against spills and there are
no drip bowls or burner box to clean.
You must use proper flat
bottomed cookware, not cookware
that is warped, convex, or
concave. Improper cookware
could cause unsatisfactory
cooking results.
