While pushing the surface unit terminal into
the receptacle, lift a little on the edge of the
unit nearest the receptacle.
When the terminal is pushed into the recep-
tacle as far as it will go, the surface unit will fit
into the reflector bowl.
Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the utensils
on the surface units. They also help catch spills.
When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better
and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of the
utensils may not be flat enough, or some may be
too large for the surface unit. In either case, some
of the heat that’s meant to go into or around a
utensil goes down and heats the reflector bowl.
This extra heat can discolor it.
Solid element surface units
1. For best results, wipe off surface units with a
damp soft cloth and soapy water after each
use. Remove burned-on food with a soap-filled
scouring pad. The red spot in the center of the
surface unit will gradually wash off. This is
normal and will not affect the operation of the
surface unit.
2. IMPORTANT: Dry the element completely
after cleaning. Turn on the element for a few
minutes to thoroughly dry. After the element
has cooled, use a paper towel to apply a thin
coat of salt-free oil to the surface units to
season and restore the finish. Wipe excess oil
off stainless steel trim rings. Then heat 3-5
minutes. Some smoking may occur; this is
normal. If surface units have dark spots
caused by grease and food, the oil treatment
will improve their appearance but not eliminate
the spots.
NOTE: Optional Electrol@ dressing can be
applied to the surface units to improve their
appearance.
3. The stainless steel trim rings will yellow from
the heat of the surface units and pans. This is
normal. The yellowing can be removed by
using stainless steel cleaner or Cook Top
Polishing Creme on the trim rings.
