The cast-iron surface units

Cast-iron 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 when:

•A pan boils dry.

•A pan is removed and the surface unit is left on.

•The bottom of the pan is too large or too small for the surface unit. This will result in longer cooking times.

•The bottom of the pan is rounded, warped, ribbed, or dented and does not make full contact with the surface unit.

The limiter will automatically reduce the heat level to provide even cooking temperatures and to protect the surface unit.

NOTE: Cast-iron surface units stay hot for a long time. Do not use the HI setting for long periods of time or leave pans on hot surface units when cooking is done. Burned food and damage to the cookware could result. You may want to turn the cast-iron surface unit off a few minutes before you finish cooking.

Before placing a pan on cast-iron 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.
