!
BEFORE COOKING WITH THE SAFE-T-ELEMENT®
up on maximum setting for approximately 4 minutes without any utensil.
During this
ʻ
curing

process, the protective coating is hardened and obtains
its maximum strength.
NOTE:
There may be a slight odor the first time you use your stove-top elements with the
Safe-T-element® plate installed. This should dissipate after the first use. For daily cooking
use dry pots only. Keep wet utensils or objects with condensation, such as pot lids, away
from Safe-T-element®.
2. CLEANING YOUR SAFE-T-ELEMENT®
1. Ensure burner is cool before attempting to clean.
2. Use damp cloth or sponge with mild detergent to clean surface of burner
and surrounding plate. Never use harsh abrasives or steel wool pad on
any part of the Safe-T-element® .
3. Thoroughly wipe soap from heating element and towel dry.
4. For best results clean your elements and drip pans regularly

For hard-to-remove stains, please try one of the following options:
Option #1 - Vegetable Oil:
!
1. Apply vegetable oil sparingly on each safe-T-element® cast iron plate and spread it
around the entire surface of the plate.
!
2. Turn the hood vent ON to allow for the minimal amount of smoke created to escape.
!
3. Turn the power of burners ON Med-HI.
!
4. Allow the burners to be ON for roughly 5 minutes. This will help break up the grease/
rust on the burner.
!
5. Turn the burners OFF after roughly 5 minutes.
!
6. Once the burners are cool, clean the cast iron plates with mild soap and towel dry.
Option #2: - Electrol Range Solid Element Cleaner:
In those instances where spotting or rusting has occurred there is a product that can be
applied that can help to maintain the original matte black appearance.
Directions for use:
!
1. Turn on the hood vent first as some smoke and a strong smell will occur. This is
normal and is non-toxic and will eventually disappear.
!
2. Prior to applying Electrol clean the plates with a soapy, non-abrasive scouring pad.
!
3. Dry the plates thoroughly.
!
4. Apply Electrol sparingly to a lukewarm element.
!
!
5. Spread polish evenly with a paper towel or dry cloth.
!
6. Turn the element ON a Med-Hi setting for 3-5 minutes to bake the polish in.
!
7. When the element is completely cool, rub lightly with a paper towel to remove any
excess polish.
