Solid elements stay hot for a long time. Do not use the Hi setting for long

periods of time or leave pans on hot elements when cooklng is done.

Burned food and damage to the cookware could result.

Solid Element Surface Units

Before placing a pan on solid element surface units for the first time, heat on

HI setting for five minutes. The surface units will give off smoke as the protective

coating, applied at the factory, finishes bonding to the surface.

Solid element surface units are made of heavy cast-iron to provide even

cooking. Each surface unit has a built-in protective limiter as a safety feature.

The limiter senses uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduces

the heat level. The limiter will sense uneven heat when a pan boils dry or when

a pan is removed and the surface unit is left on. The heat level may also be

reduced automatically if the bottom of the pan is not flat or if the pan is too

large or too small for the element, This will result in longer cooking times.

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

lower setting to complete the cooking. You may want to turn the solid element

surface unit OFF a few minutes before you finish cooking.

Cookware

Pans should be the same size or larger than the surface unit to prevent boil-

overs and hot handles.

Use only flat-bottomed utensils, Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between

the pans and surface units for fast, even cooking. Pans with uneven bottoms or

with raised patterns on the bottoms are not suitable. Do not use trivets, woks

with skirts, or canners with concave or ridged bottoms.

To check your cookware for flatness, place a straight-edge across the bottom

of each piece. Move the straight-edge around. if light shows anywhere

between the pan and the straight-edge, the pan is not flat. Do not use it.

See the Cooking Guide for additional cookware information.
