Thesignal light will glow when a surface unit is on. NOTE: When the light goes off the surface unit will still be hot. Do not leave or store plastic, pans or other Items on surface units.

Solid Element

Surface Units

Solid element surface units are made of heavy cast-iron to provide even cooking. Each surface unit has a built-in protective limiter. The limiter senses

uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduces the heat setting. The limiter will sense uneven heat when a pan boils dn/, when a pan does not have a flat bottom, or when a pan is removed and the surface unit is left on.

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 OFF a few minutes before you are finished cooking.

CAUTION: Solid elements stay hot for a long time. Do not use the Hi sefflng for long periods of time or leave pans on hot elements when cooking is done. Burned tood and damage to the cookware could result.
