2.!COOKING WITH THE SAFE-T-ELEMENT®
It is important to note that no behavioral change is required when
cooking with the Safe-T-element®. However, a little experimentation
may be required to familiarize yourself with the various temperature
levels while using the device. DO NOT cook food directly on the
Safe-T-element® plate without using cookware.
Since the Safe-T-element® cycles on and off at 350C (662F), the plate
will never have a red glow like the unprotected element does at higher
temperatures. Therefore, the stove panel element indicator light will be
the best way to determine if an element is on.

COOKING PERFORMANCE WITH SAFE-T-ELEMENT®
The Safe-T-element® plate is slightly larger in diameter than the burner
element so the heat is dispersed evenly across the plate rather than
being focused on just three or four rings. This factor along with the type
of utensil material and quality can result in a longer initial heat up time.
However, once the plate is fully heated up, there should be no obvious
difference in cooking time. The plate retains heat and energy savings can
be achieved by turning the controls off and using the retained heat to finish
cooking.
NOTE: To improve cooking performance please use the right cookware. Refer to
point 1 "Are you using the right cookware".
