Solid Element
Surface Units
Solid element surface units are made of heavy cast-iron to provide even
cooking. Each surface unit has a built-in protective limiter. The limiter senses
uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduces the heat setting.
The limiter will sense uneven heat when a pan boils dry, when a pan does not
have a flat bottom, or when a pan is removed and the surface unit is left on.
Solid elements hold heat longer than conventional surface units. For best cook-
ing results, use a high setting for only a very short period of time. Then use a lowe
setting to complete the cooking. You may want to turn the solid element OFF a
few minutes before you are finished cooking.
CAUTION: Solld elements stay hot for a long tlme. Do not
use the HI sefflng for long periods of
ttme
or leave pans
on hot elements when cooking ls done. Burned food and
damage to the cookware could result.
