Solid Element Cooktop
(Model SCE4320)
IMPORTANT
BEFOREUSINGTHE COOKTOP FORTHE FIRSTTIME, HEAT THE ELEMENTS
WITHOUT APANFOR 3TO 5 MINUTES ON THE HISETTING. The elementsare
shippedwithacoating (lacquer) whichprotects them againstcorrosion. Heatingthe
elements allows thecoating to be hardened and burned into the elements. During
the curing process, a non-toxicsmoke will be created. Turn on the overhead hood
fan ifthe smoke isobjectionable. Ifthe elementsare not cured, thecoating can stick
to a pan when first used on the solid element.
Cooking Procedures
• Make sure bottom of cookware is dry before placing on element.
• Do not use wire trivets, fire rings, pads or any such item between the cookware
and the element.
• Cover cookware with lids to shorten cooking time and save energy. This is
especially important when cooking large quantities of food.
• Useas littlewater tocook food asis necessary. Covered cookware requiresless
water.
• The solid elements retain heat for a period of time afterthe elements have been
turned off. Put this residual heat to good use. Turn the elements off a few
minutesbefore food is completely cooked and usethe retained heatto complete
the cooking operation. Because of this heat retention characteristic, the
elements willnot respond tochanges inheat settings asquickly as coil elements.
Inthe event of a potential boil over, movethe cookpot to a cool element or from
the cooking surface.
• Do not lay lids (with moisture in them), spatulas, or other food laden utensils on
solid element.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use decorative covers over the solid element. These trap moisture
which cancorrode the cast ironelement. If the element is accidentally turned
on, the covers could permanently damage the solid element or the cooktop.
• Do notuse wet pansorleavepan bottomswet. Moisture could cause corrosion
and will not allow your pans to heat properly.
