Surface Units
Solid element
surface units are made
of heavy
cast-iron
to provide
even
cooking.
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 lowe
setting to complete
the cooking.
You may want to turn the solid element
OFF a
few minutes before you are finished cooking.
CAUTION: Solld elements stay hot for a long tlme. Do not
use the HI sefflng for long periods of
ttme
or leave pans
on hot elements when cooking ls done. Burned food and
damage to the cookware
could result.
