CARE & MAINTENANCE

1.

!

BEFORE COOKING WITH THE SAFE-T-ELEMENT®

up   on  maximum  setting  for  approximately  4  minutes  without  any   utensil. 
During this 

ʻ

curing

ʼ

 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.

Option #2

Before being used  for  the  first  time,  the  Safe-T-element® should be heated
