INSERTING A MODULE
@
To insert a module:
1. First, be sure the controls are OFF and the unit is
cool, clean and drv.
2. Grasping the module firmly, slide it down into the
well and fit the plug into the receptacle (see illustra-
tion). Do not hold the opposite side of the module
too high or the plug m:-y be damaged.
3. Use the finger grip in the side of the module op-
posite the plug to lower the module completely into
the well (flush with the cooktop). Be careful not to
pinch your fingers.
’ USING ELECTRIC ELEMENTS
dlrB
You should consider heat up and cool down times for
the elements when determining cooking times. Heat up
and cool down times depend on initial temperature set-
tings, the type of cookware used and amount of food
being cooked.
Start cooking at a higher setting to heat the element
faster, then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
Remember, cooking continues after the element is turn-
ed off, so train yourself to turn the heat down or off
before cooking is finished.
See the chart on page 12 for suggested control set-
tings.
USING OPEN COIL ELEMENTS
When using open coil elements, it is important to use
the correct size and style pan. See Choosing Cookware
on pages 11 and 12.
Never leave an empty pan on a hot open coil element.
This can damage the module, reflector bowl, and ele-
ment as well as the pan.

Never line the reflector bowls under open
coil elements with aluminum foil. Foil can
block normal heat flow, and damage the
1
unit.
USING SOLID ELEMENTS f@
A
Before using the solid elements for the first
time, you must cure them to harden the
protective coating for long life. If the
elements are not cured properly, the
coating can stick to your pan and remove
some of the finish on the element. See in-
structions below.
To properly cure the solid elements, heat each element
at Hi setting, without a pan on the element.
There will be some non-toxic smoke and odor and the
rings around the elements will change to a gold color.
All this is normal. Use your venting system to minimize
the smoke and odor. Heat the elements for 3 to 5
minutes - until the smoking stops.
Solid cast iron elements look very different from the
traditional open coil elements you are used to. The
heating coils in the solid elements are permanently seal-
ed and protected under the casting for long life. It is
very important to use the correct cookware on the solid
element.
In order to obtain good performance from your solid
element your cookware must be perfectly flat on the
bottom and be of a heavy gauge material. If your cur-
rent cookware has been exposed to mild overheating it
may be slightly warped and unable to perform efficient-
ly on a solid element. See Choosing Cookware on
pages 1 1 and 12 for more information.
Because the solid element is a flat, heavy casting, heat
distribution is very even. When used with a correct
(flat-bottomed) pan, the solid element provides good
heat transfer with no hot spots or scorching.
