SOLID CAST IRON ELEMENTS ARE RUSTING

0Are you using wet pans on the elements? Always be sure pan bottoms are dry before placing them on solid elements.

0When you clean the elements or have a water spill do you remember to turn the elements on a few minutes to dry them completely?

0Did you leave a salt spill on the element? Salt cor- rodes cast iron.

0Are you using the aluminum element covers that can be bought in many stores to hide electric cooktop elements? These covers hold moisture

and condensation and promote rusting.

FOOD COOKS SLOWLY ON THE SOLID ELEMENTS

0The pan bottom is not flat and does not touch the element completely.

0The pan is smaller than the element. This causes

the element to start overheating and then

automatically reduce the heat.

OVEN LIGHT WILL NOT WORK

completely. Check for a blown fuse or tripped cir- cuit breaker.
