raised above the module
and sealed to it. Food spills
can not
tlow under the
cookware or the element. Spills stay on the module
surface where they cool and are easy to wipe up.
Be
sure the controls are off and the module and
elements are cool before handling or cleaning.
The
elements cool slowly and do not glow red as open coil
elements do when they are hot.
The trim rings around the elements are stainless steel
and may be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner.
Cleaning materials: Scouring powder, Heavy Duty
Scotch Brite Scour Pad or soap pad, Cello Electrol.
The red
dot
in the center can be removed with a
soap-
filled steel wool pad. The dot is used by the element
manufacturer to identify the element as having a
special safety feature. The red dot will wear off, but
this will not affect the performance or durability of
the element. Do
not allow the cleaning powders to
clog the sensor
(if the model has one). It must be free
moving. Follow the circular grooves of
the
element
when cleaning.
Light spills—Wipe the element with a powdered
cleaner and
a
damp cloth.
Heavy spills—Scrub with a scouring pad and/or
scouring powder.
Stains—Heavy stains can be removed with 80-100
grit sand paper.
After cleaning, wipe element with a damp cloth and
turn element on a medium setting
to dry.
Finish with vegetable oil or Cello Electrol. Heat
element on medium for
30
seconds, then turn it off.
Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a dry cloth
or paper towel and rub a light coating into the element
to prevent the element from rusting. Rub oil onto the
element evenly and wipe off any excess. Heat element
for
1
minute on medium to cure.
The matte black surface can be maintained by
treating it periodically with the Cello Electrol
polish. The solid element dressing is available
through
GE
service centers. To use the polish, use the
applicator
to
apply
a
very
thin coating to the entire
element surface. Turn the element on high for several
minutes to bake the
polish
to the element. When the
element is cool, rub lightly with a cloth or paper towel
to remove any excess polish. The dressing restores the
color of the element and helps prevent the element
from staining. The element must be clean before the
dressing is applied.
