Temperature control - Titan
Supersimmer
The front right element of your cooktop is fitted with
a unique simmer control. This allows the element
to be turned down to a very low and even power
setting (25 watts compared with 60 watts on other
elements). These lower settings are ideal for melting
chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate
sauces, and simmering soups and stews. It can also
be used as a ‘warm zone’ for keeping cooked food
hot.
The Supersimmer element is just as powerful (1200 watts)
in the top heat range as the same size standard
element (left rear element), allowing food to be
browned, seared, sautéed or boiled before simmering,
all on the same element.
Temperature limiters
Temperature limiters are fitted to the elements to prevent the ceramic glass from overheating.
You may notice the limiters turn the elements on and off during cooking.
Radiant elements
The element will cycle on and off to maintain your selected heat setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven, or another element, on the glass surface when
the surface is cool.
Even after the elements are turned off, the glass surface retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from hot elements when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on a hot element until it has cooled completely (the hot surface
indicator light has gone out).
