Using a solid disk element cooktop
is quite similar to using an electric
coil, with which you probably are
familiar. With both types of surface
units you will enjoy the cleanliness
of electricity and the benefits of
retained heat in the elements.
The top working surfaces of
the new solid disk elements
have a protective coating that
must be hardened before using
the elements for the first time.
To harden this coating, the
solid disk elements should be

Solid disk element cooking takes

very even heat distribution. Since
solid disk elements hold heat
longer, you may wish to turn the

advantage of the residual heat. The

energy usage, you should use a pan
that is sized correctly for the
cooking process, with a well-fitted
lid to avoid evaporation loss, and
cook with as little water or fat as
possible. If the pan is too small,
energy is wasted and spillage can
flow onto the solid disk element.
●
Good pans have a thick, flat
bottom which absorbs the heat
from the element. The thick, flat
bottom provides good heat
distribution from the element to the
food. This cooking process requires
little water, fat or electricity.
●
Pans with thin, uneven bottoms
do not adequately utilize the heat
coming from the element. The
food to be cooked may burn and
require more time and electricity.
You would also have to add more
fat or water.
●
Except in pressure cooking with
water and water-bath canning,
canning pots should not extend
more than 1 inch beyond the
surface of a solid disk element and
should have flat bottoms. When
canning pots do not meet this
description, the use of the HI heat
setting causes excessive heat
buildup and may result in damage
to the cooktop. See “Home
Canning Tips” for further

Place only dry pans on the solid

Pans with uneven bottoms are
not suitable.

Home Canning Tips
CAUTION:
Canning should be done on
cooktop only.
Observe Following Points
in Canning
Safe canning requires that
harmful microorganisms are
destroyed and that the jars are
sealed completely. When canning
foods in a water-bath canner, a
gentle but steady boil must be
maintained continuously for
the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure
canner, the pressure must be
maintained continuously for
the required time.
In surface cooking, the use of
cookware extending more than
1 inch beyond edge of cooking
element’s trim ring is not
recommended. However, when
canning with water-bath or
pressure canner, larger-diameter
cookware may be used. This is
because boiling water temperatures
(even under pressure) are not
harmful to cooktop surfaces
surrounding the cooking element.
1. Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the cooking element. If
your cooktop or its location does
not allow the canner to be centered
on the cooking element, use
smaller-diameter canners for good
canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they
don’t make enough contact with
the solid disk element and take too
long to boil water.
If a solid disk element is used
for canning, please note that
solid disk elements heat up and
cool down more slowly than
other conventional elements.
Because of this difference, after
you have adjusted the controls it
is very important to make sure
the prescribed boil or pressure
levels are maintained for the
required time.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE
LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS
OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER
POTS FOR FRYING OR
BOILING FOODS OTHER
THAN WATER. Most syrup or
sauce mixtures—and all types of
frying—cook at temperatures
much higher than boiling water.
Such temperatures could
WRONG
RIGHT
3. When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball and Kerr;
and the United States Department
of Agriculture Extension Service.
eventually harm cooktop surfaces
surrounding heating units.
The solid disk elements have
temperature limiters that help –
prevent damage to the cooktop.
If the bottom of your canner is
not flat, the solid disk element
can overheat, triggering the
temperature limiters to turn the
unit off for a time. This will stop
the boil or reduce the pressure in
the canner.
4. Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be careful
when canning.
Since you must make sure to
process the canning jars for the
prescribed time, with no
interruption in processing time,
you cannot can on solid disk
elements if your canner is not
flat enough.
NOTE: If your cooktop is being
operated on low power (voltage),
canning may take longer than
expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed. The
process time will be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for
fastest heating of large quantities
of water.

from getting inside the
cooktop chassis. The secret to
keeping the cooktop comfortably
cooler is to turn the cooktop on
only after the cookware and its
contents are placed on the element.
More heat will then be transferred
to the cookware and the food
rather than the cooktop. The

Q. Why does the solid disk
element smoke when I first turn

A. If you set your solid disk
A. This initial smoking is both
normal and necessary. A rust
preventative is applied to each
element at the factory. When the
unit is turned on for the first time,
the coating will burn off the
element areas. This takes
approximately five minutes and
should be done without cookware

Q. Why am I overcooking my

conventional coil elements. Food
will continue to cook three to five
minutes after the controls are
turned off. We recommend that
you begin cooking at lower
settings than you have in the past
and gradually increase or decrease
heat as desired. The energy savings
are significant.
Q. Why does it take a long time
to cook my food?
A. The extra time it takes to cook
food on a solid disk element
compared to a conventional coil
element is measured in seconds,
not minutes. These few seconds
are due to the greater mass of the
solid disk element. If the food is
cooking slowly, it is because the
cookware is warped or has an
uneven bottom surface. If
bottomed cookware is used, the
cooking performance of solid disk
elements will closely parallel that
of conventional coil elements, but
with less energy consumption.
11
Care and Cleaning
Note: Let cooktop parts cool before touching or handling.
Proper care and cleaning
Failure to maintain the solid disk
elements as directed result in
defacing the surface over a long
of time primarily due to
corrosion as the elements are made
of cast-iron construction.
Glass Top
important so your cooktop will
give you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for your
cooktop to assure safe and
proper maintenance.
The glass on your cooktop has
been tempered to withstand sudden
temperature changes during
cooking. Give it the normal care
you would give any glass material.
Do not place covers over the solid
disk elements. An element turned on
while the cover is in place can
permanently damage the cooktop.
Covers can also trap moisture which
may cause the elements to rust.
While it is impact-resistant, avoid
scratching it to prevent it from
shattering.
Solid Disk Elements
The solid disk elements are made
of high strength cast-iron alloy.
If the glass around the solid disk
elements is hot, wipe up spills with
a dry cloth or paper towel. When
the surface has cooled, wash, rinse
and dry it. Alternately, when the
glass top is cool, spray it with
glass or window cleaner. Avoid
the use of cleaning powders or
harsh abrasives that may scratch
the surface.
The surface has a heat-resistant
coating to preserve the surface of
the element. After the unit cools,
any boiled-over material on the
element should be removed as
soon as possible with a slightly
damp cloth. The element should
then be dried by turning it on for a
few minutes. After it cools, wipe
lightly with cooking oil.
Clean very dirty solid disk
elements with a little cleaning
powder (such as Comet” cleanser)
or with a scouring pad.
The matte black surface can be
maintained by treating it
periodically with Cello
polish which is available from:
ELCO Sales
2545 Palmer Avenue
University Park, IL 60466
Use the applicator to apply very
thin coating of the polish to the
entire surface of the element. Turn
the element on high for several
minutes to bake the polish onto the
element. When the element is
cooled, rub lightly with a cloth or
paper towel to remove any excess
polish. Before next use, burn off
the element by means of a short
preheating period. A slight amount
of smoke and odor will occur.
