Use cookware of medium weight aluminum, with tight-fitting covers, and flat bottoms which completely cover the heated portion of the solid disk element.

●

Cook fresh vegetables with a minimum amount of water in a covered pan.

●

Watch foods when bringing them

quictiy

to cooking temperatures at Maximum heat. When food reaches cooking temperature, reduce heat immediately to lowest setting that will keep it cooking.

●

Use residual heat whenever possible. For example, when cooking

e~s

in the shell, bring water and eggs to boil, then turn to OFF position and cover with lid to complete the cooking.

●

Always turn solid disk element

OFF before removing cookware.

Use correct heat for cooking task: (see illustrations of control knobs on page 6).

About

Using a solid disk element is quite similar to using an electric coil, with which you probably are

familiar. With both types of surface units you will enjoy the cleanliness of electricity and the benefits of retained heat in the elements. However, there are differences.

●

Solid disk elements do N~ glow red, even at the maximum heat setting.

c

Solid disk elements reach temperature a little slower, and hold heat longer, than conventional elements. Solid disk elements have very even heat distribution. Since solid disk elements hold heat longer, you may wish to turn the element off sooner, and take advantage of the amount of

the

quantity and type of food, the material and thickness of the pan and the setting used for cooking.
