INSERTING A MODULE @

To insert a module:

1.First, be sure the controls are OFF and the unit is cool, clean and drv.

2.Grasping the module firmly, slide it down into the well and fit the plug into the receptacle (see illustra- tion). Do not hold the opposite side of the module too high or the plug m:-y be damaged.

3.Use the finger grip in the side of the module op- posite the plug to lower the module completely into the well (flush with the cooktop). Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

USING ELECTRIC ELEMENTS dlrB’

You should consider heat up and cool down times for the elements when determining cooking times. Heat up

and cool down times depend on initial temperature set- tings, the type of cookware used and amount of food being cooked.

Start cooking at a higher setting to heat the element faster, then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Remember, cooking continues after the element is turn- ed off, so train yourself to turn the heat down or off before cooking is finished.

See the chart on page 12 for suggested control set- tings.

USING OPEN COIL ELEMENTS

When using open coil elements, it is important to use the correct size and style pan. See Choosing Cookware on pages 11 and 12.

Never leave an empty pan on a hot open coil element. This can damage the module, reflector bowl, and ele- ment as well as the pan.

la Never line the reflector bowls under open coil elements with aluminum foil. Foil can block normal heat flow, and damage the

1unit.

USING SOLID ELEMENTS f@

A Before using the solid elements for the first time, you must cure them to harden the

protective coating for long life. If the

elements are not cured properly, the coating can stick to your pan and remove some of the finish on the element. See in- structions below.

To properly cure the solid elements, heat each element at Hi setting, without a pan on the element.

There will be some non-toxic smoke and odor and the rings around the elements will change to a gold color. All this is normal. Use your venting system to minimize the smoke and odor. Heat the elements for 3 to 5 minutes - until the smoking stops.

Solid cast iron elements look very different from the

traditional open coil elements you are used to. The

heating coils in the solid elements are permanently seal- ed and protected under the casting for long life. It is very important to use the correct cookware on the solid element.

In order to obtain good performance from your solid element your cookware must be perfectly flat on the bottom and be of a heavy gauge material. If your cur-

rent cookware has been exposed to mild overheating it may be slightly warped and unable to perform efficient-

ly on a solid element. See Choosing Cookware on pages 1 1 and 12 for more information.

Because the solid element is a flat, heavy casting, heat

distribution is very even. When used with a correct

(flat-bottomed) pan, the solid element provides good heat transfer with no hot spots or scorching.
