CAUTION: Do not continuously operate surface units at maximum temperature; maximum temperature
operation will be required only during peak cooking intervals. Reduce heat during slow cooking periods to
save energy and prolong the life of the heating elements and castings.
Element Switches —
control and maintain heat to surface elements.

" dia. French plates have separate thermostats built into each energy saving plate. With the thermostat dial
set at the highest available temperature and pan or pot containing food placed on the plate, the plate will deliver 2,000
watts at a temperature lower than 800°F. When the cooking utensil is removed or its contents have boiled dry, the
heating watts are lowered as the temperature rises. Example: When the plate reaches from 820°F to 850°F, wattage
is cut back to 950 watts, a 52.5% reduction.
