Using the Optional Solid Element Module
Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best results and to prevent damage to
the cooktop. Specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms (woks, ridged
bottom canners or tea kettles) are not recommended. Solid elements are
made of heavy cast-iron to provide even cooking. These elements hold
heat longer than conventional type surface units. For best cooking results,
use a HI setting for a very short period; then use a LO setting to complete the
cooking. Turn the element OFF a few minutes before you are finished
cooking.
CAUTION: Elements stay hot for a long time. Do not leave pans on
hot elements when cooking is done. Burned food and damage to
the
cooktop
could result.
NOTE: A protective limiter is built into each solid element. if pan bot-
toms are not fiat, if will sense uneven cooking temperatures and auto-
matically reduce the heat sefflng. This will result in longer cooking
times. See Cookware on page 12.
