COOKING WITH THE SAFE-T-ELEMENT® 

It  is  important  to  note  that  no  behavioral  change  is  required  when 
cooking  with  the  Safe-T-element®.  However,  a  little  experimentation 
may  be  required  to  familiarize  yourself  with  the  various  temperature 

temperatures. Therefore, the stove panel  element indicator  light  will  be 

the best way to determine if an element is on.

COOKING PERFORMANCE WITH SAFE-T-ELEMENT® 

The Safe-T-element® plate is slightly larger  in diameter  than the burner 
element  so  the  heat  is  dispersed  evenly  across  the  plate  rather  than 
being focused on just three or  four  rings. This factor  along with the type 
of  utensil material  and quality can result in a longer  initial  heat up time. 
However, once the plate is fully heated up, there should be no obvious 

point 1 “Are you using the right cookware”.

Since the Safe-T-element® cycles on and off at 350C (662F), the plate 

will  never  have a red glow  like the unprotected element  does at  higher
