OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Temperature Limiters
All heating elements are equipped with a temperature limiter, for safety reasons. The limiter will cycle
the heating element, regardless of the control setting. This is normal and should not be cause for alarm.
But, the following may cause the cycling to be more frequent.
The bottom of the cooking utensil is not flat, convex or concave.
The utensil/pan is too small in diameter for the element being used.
Material of utensil/pan is poor conductor of heat.
Utensil/pan is empty, ingredients have boiled away.
There is no utensil/pan on the element.
Cookware
The type of cookware used will affect performance.
Flat bottoms
utensils/pans with flat bottoms are best. Concave or convex bottoms will cause uneven
and slower heating. If pans are not stable (wobble), before or after heating, they will result in slower and
uneven cooking.
Size
the utensil/pan should cover the heating element diameter completely. A slight overhang, up to
Covers
a cover or lid will reduce cooking times.
Woks
use flat bottom wok only. Do not use woks with support rings.
