Electrolux 318205832 Owner's Manual

The cookware material determines how evenly and 

quickly heat is transferred from the surface element 

to the pan bottom. The most popular materials 

available are:
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some 

types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized 

aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If

aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass 

cooktop, they may leave metal marks which 

will resemble scratches. Remove these marks 

immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors 

easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass

(see Aluminum above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with 

uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean 

and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will 

retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking 

temperature is reached. Not recommended for use 

on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating 

characteristics will vary depending on base 

material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth 

to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended 

for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may 

scratch the glass.

The cooktop control provides 5 digital display 

windows to help set power levels for the heating 

zones located on the cooktop. These settings work 

the same way as normal knob settings except the 

settings are displayed in LCD style displays.

Your control provides 25 different settings for each 

heating zone. Some of these power levels include 

Lo (1%) fig. 1, 5.0 (medium 50%) fig. 2, Hi 

(100%) fig. 3.

Some cooktop zone positions offer 2 or 3 different 

element sizes. At these locations, you may choose 

to use the single inner heating ring only or you may 

add 1 or 2 more heating rings with each press of 

the 

BURNER SIZE key.

The number of circles displayed at the element 

zone LCD represents the number of heating rings

available for that position.

The 

hi+ and  lo- keys provide incremental 

adjustments for more precise control when

changing settings between the lower heat levels 

(Lo to 3.0 power levels). Higher heat level setting 

changes (between 3.0 to HI) will change much 

faster.

Lo to 3.0 (1-30%)

3.0 to HI (30-100%)

•  1 circle = single element
•  2 circles = double element (some positions)
•  3 circles = triple element (left front position)
