Top Surface Elements
CAUTION: Do not continuously operate surface units at maximum temperature; maximum temperature
operation will be required only during peak cooking intervals. Reduce heat during slow cooking periods
to save energy and prolong the life of the heating elements and castings.
Element Switches — control and maintain heat to surface elements.
Element Indicator Lights — when lit, indicates power is being supplied to the element.
There are 3 different types of plates that may be used in the VR, VS, VRC, VM, VEX and VMX Ranges.

/2" (241) dia. French plates have separate thermostats built into each energy saving plate. With the
thermostat dial set at the highest available temperature and pan or pot containing food placed on the plate, the
plate will deliver 2,000 watts at a temperature lower than 800°F (427). When the cooking utensil is removed or
its contents have boiled dry, the heating watts are lowered as the temperature rises. Example: When the plate
reaches from 820°F to 850°F (438-455), wattage is cut back to 950 watts, a 52.5% reduction.
