SOLID DISK MODULE

Before Using Your Solid Disk Module for the First Time

The top working surface of solid disk elements have a protective coating which must be hardened before using the elements for the first time. To harden this coating, the elements should be briefly heated without a pan (the coating will stick to the pan). Heat the elements for approximately

5 minutes at HI setting until the smoking stops (this is normal). Heating of the element will change the stainless steel element trim rings to a gold color.

THE ELEMENT’S PROTECTIVE COATING MUST BE HARDENED TO HELP PROTECT THE ELEMENT OVER ITS LIFE.

Centerwallbetween - the cooktop opening.

There you will see & the electrical receptacle. (A receptacle is available in either cooktop opening. ) Let the leading corners of the module rest on the cooktop surftice.

2.Carefully slide the module plug toward the receptacle until plug is engaged completely in receptacle. Allow the module to fit into the cooktop opening.

3.Lower the inside edge of module into the cooktop opening until it is flush with cooking surface.

How to Remove the Module

Be sure the entire module surface is cool before attempting to remove the module. The solid disk elements will retain heat after the controls have been turned off. Be careful not to get burned on a module that has not had sufficient time to cool after use.

1. Lift the finger tab at the outside edge of the module until the module base clears the cooktop opening.

2. Hold the module by the front and rear edges. Carefully slide the module away from the cooktop center until

the module plug is disengaged from the receptacle.

General Information About Solid Disk Elements

Using a solid disk element is quite similar to using an electric open coil element. You will enjoy the benefits

of prolonged heat retention for cooking with both types of cooking elements. However, there are important differences:

●Unlike electric coi 1 surface units, solid disk elements do NOT turn red hot, even at HI setting. You may, however, notice u dull glow when the elements are on HI and the room is dimly lit.

*Solid disk elements reach cooking 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 is dependent upon the quantity and type of food, the material and thickness of the pan and the setting used for cooking.

●The red dot in the center of the solid disk element indicates 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 boi]overs, wait for element to cool before cleaning element area.

●So] id disk element cooking takes you a step closer to easier cleanup because the cooking surface is sealed against spills. There are no drip bowls or burner box to clean.

*You must use proper flat bottomed cookware. Do not use cookware that is warped, convex or concave. [mproper cookware could cause unsatisfactory cooking results.
