Solid element surface units are made of heavy cast-iron to provide even cooking. Each surface unit has a built-m protective limiter as a safety feature. The limiter senses uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduces the heat level. The limiter will sense uneven heat when a pan boils dry or when a pan is removed and the surface unit is left on. The heat level may also be reduced automatically if the bottom of the pan is not flat or if the pan is too large or too small for the element. This will result in longer cooking times.

Solid elements hold heat longer than conventional surface units. For best cooking results, use a high setting for only a very short period of time. Then use a lower setting to complete the cooking. You may want to turn the solid element surface unit OFF a few minutes before you finish cooking.

Solid elements stay hot for a long time. Do not use the high setting for long periods of time or leave pans on hot elements when cooking is done. Burned food and damage to the cookware could result.

Cookware

Pans should be the same size or larger than the surface unit to prevent boil- overs and hot handles.

Use only flat-bottomed utensils. Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between the pans and surface units for fast, even cooking. Pans with uneven bottoms or with raised patterns on the bottoms are not suitable. Do not use trivets, woks with skirts, or canners with concave or ridged bottoms.

To check your cookware for flatness, place a straight-edge across the bottom of each piece. Move the straight-edge. If light shows anywhere between the pan and the straight-edge, the pan is not flat. Do not use it.

Burn Hazard

. If the pan is too small for the surface unit, you could be burned by the heat from the exposed section of the surface unit. Use correctly sized cooking utensils to prevent injury.

. If a surface unit stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils for long periods of time can result in damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage, use correct utensils, start cooking on high setting and turn control down to continue cooking.

Using the grill and griddle (Model CEX650V)

Bum And Fire Hazard

Be sure the grill/griddle control is OFF and the grill or griddle is cool and covered when not in use.

Failure to do so could result in burns or fire.

Grill chart

Before f

for the first time:

1.The cooking surfaces should be washed with warm, soapy water, rinsed and dried. Never use a metal scouring pad or abrasive cleaner on the grill or griddle; these will damage the non-stick surface.

2.After cleaning, lightly wipe the cooking surfaces with cooking oil to prevent food from sticking. You don’t have to season (grease) the griddle every time you use it. Do not use shortenina or butter to season the griddle.

3.Before you use the griddle for the first time, preheat on HI, then turn control to a lower setting to cook. Turn off the elements when cooking is finished. Leaving them ON will damage the griddle.

4.Place food directly on cooking surface. DO NOT use cookware on the grill or griddle. Use only plastic or nylon kitchen utensils on the grill and griddle. Metal can damage the non-stick cooking surface.

NOTE:Do not grill with the controls on the high setting. Excessive smoke and flare- 3 could result.
