Signal lights
One of the signal lights will glow
when a surface unit is on.
Solid Element Surface Units
Before placing
a pan on solid element
surface units for the first time, heat on
HI setting for five minutes. The surface
units will give off smoke as the
protective
coating,
applied
at the factory, finishes bonding
to the surfaces.
Solid element
surface
units are made
of heavy
cast-iron
to provide
even cook-
ing. Each surface
unit has a built-in protective
limiter. The limiter senses
uneven
cooking
temperatures
and automatically
reduces
the heat setting. The
limiter will sense uneven
heat when a pan boils dry, when a pan does not have
a flat bottom, or when a pan is removed
and the surface
unit is left on.
Solid elements
hold heat longer than conventional
surface
units. For best cook-
ing reSUltS, use a high setting for only a very short period
of time. Then use
a lower setting to complete
the cooking.
You may want to turn the solid element
OFF a few minutes before you finished
cooking.
