Solid Elements
The solid element is made of high
strength cast-iron alloy. The trim
ring is stainless steel. A heat-
resistant coating helps preselwe the
surface of the element.
The solid element should be washed
with a damp cloth, &ied, and wiped
over lightly with cooking oil.
Boiled-over
material on the
element should be removed with a
slightly damp cloth as soon as
possible after the element cools.
D W the element by switching it on
for a few minutes.
Clean veiny dirty solid elements
with a damp cloth and a little cleaning
powder with a scouring pad.
The matte black surface can be
maintained by treating it periodically
with the Cello Electrol _9polish
packed with your rauge. Use the
applicator to apply a vel N thin
coating of the polish to the entire
element surface. Turn the element
on high for several milmtes to bake
the polish to the element. When the
element is cooled, mb lightly with
a cloth or paper towel to remove
any excess polish. Before next use,
burn off the element by meaus of a
short preheating
period. A slight
amount of smoke and odor will occur.
Cooking
aud pre-delivel N factol N
testing will permauently
chauge the
trim ring to a gold color. This
normal characteristic
of stainless
steel will not afl'ect the operation or
performance
of your elements.
Cleauing the trim ring with a good
quality stainless steel cleauer will
also restore the trim ring to its
original color, until it is reheated.
Failure to maintain the solid
elements as directed will result in
defacing the surface over a period
of time primarily
due to corrosion
as the elements are made of cast
iron construction.
Do not use covers over the solid
elements.
An element turned on
while the cover is in place cau
permanently
damage the cooktop.
Covers eau also trap moisture which
may cause the elements to rust.
