Solid Disk Elements

Before Using Your

Solid Disk Elements for

the First Time

The top working surfaces of the new solid disk elements have a protective coating that must be hardened before using the elements for the first time. To harden this coating, the solid disk elements should be heated at HI heat setting for 3 to 5 minutes, without cookware on the element.

There will be some smoke and odor; this is normal.

THE SOLID DISK ELEMENT PROTECTIVE COATING MUST BE HARDENED TO HELP PROTECT THE ELEMENT OVER ITS LIFE.

General Information About Solid Disk Elements

Using a solid disk element cooktop is quite similar to using an electric coil, with which you probably are familiar. With both types of surface units you will enjoy the cleanliness of electricity and the benefits of retained heat in the elements. However, there are differences.

●Solid disk elements do NOT glow red, even at high heat settings.

●Solid disk elements reach temperature a little slower, and hold heat longer, than conventional elements. Solid disk elements have very even heat distribution. Since solid disk elements hold heat longer, you may wish to turn the element off sooner, and take advantage of the residual heat. The amount of residual heat depends on the quantity and type of food, the material and thickness of the pan and the setting used for cooking.

●The red dots in the center of the solid disk elements are built-in temperature limiters that automatically reduce the heat if a pan boils dry, if the element is turned on without a pan or if the pan is not making enough contact with the surface of the element. The red dots will wear off with use without affecting the performance of the elements.

●There is retained heat in the element. On boilovers, wait for element to cool before cleaning element area.

●Solid disk element cooking takes you a step closer to easier cleanup, because the cooking surface is sealed against spills and there are no drip pans or burner box to clean.

●You must use proper flat- bottomed cookware, not cookware that is warped, convex, or concave. Improper cookware will cause unsatisfactory cooking results.
