Solid Element
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 dn/, 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
cooking
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 are finished cooking.
CAUTION: Solid elements stay hot for a long time. Do not use the Hi
sefflng for long periods of time or leave pans on hot elements when
cooking
is done. Burned tood and damage
to the cookware
could
result.
