Control Settings

Types of Solid Elements

The cooktop is equipped with two different types of solid elements.

Protect Temp elements -- Two elements are equipped with a thermal protector or limiter. The long life of the element is assured by preventing the cooking surface from becoming overheated in situations in which heat is not properly conducted away from the element's surface by cooking food. The thermal protector reduces wattage to the element to prevent overheating. Examples of when overheating could occur include turning the element on without a pan in place or using an unsuitable cooking utensil, such as one with a badly warped bottom, or letting a pan boil dry.

Auto Temp elements -- Two elements are thermostatically controlled. A thermostat in the center of the element senses the temperature of the bottom of the pan and can be set for a range of temperatures. At each setting, the heating process begins at full power to reach the desired temperature quickly and then cycles on and off during the cooking process to maintain that temperature.

Suggested Control Setthlgs

Many factors will determine the control setting that provides the best results such as size and type of cookware or amount of food to be cooked. Low or varying electrical voltage may also be a factor. While some experimentation is required, the suggested settings are provided as a general guideline until you become familiar with your solid element. The information in these charts is based on heavy gauge aluminum cookware.
