SOLID CAST IRON ELEMENTS ARE RUSTING
0 Are you using wet pans on the elements? Always
be sure pan bottoms are dry before placing them
on solid elements.
0 When you clean the elements or have a water spill
do you remember to turn the elements on a few
minutes to dry them completely?
0 Did you leave a salt spill on the element? Salt cor-
rodes cast iron.
0 Are you using the aluminum element covers that
can be bought in many stores to hide electric
cooktop elements? These covers hold moisture
and condensation and promote rusting.
FOOD COOKS SLOWLY ON THE SOLID
ELEMENTS
0 The pan bottom is not flat and does not touch the
element completely.
0 The pan is smaller than the element. This causes
the element to start overheating and then
automatically reduce the heat.

completely. Check for a blown fuse or tripped cir-
cuit breaker.
