8" Safety Surface Element

UL regulation requires all new coil top ranges to have temperature limiting capabilities to reduce the risk of cooktop oil and grease fires. On this new element is a silver medallion with a button (sensor) in the center of the coil. This button must contact the bottom of the pan for the thermostat to sense the temperature properly. When the thermostat detects a pan temperature near the limit (716°F), the element will shut off automatically until a lower, safe pan temperature is reached, then heat will resume to the element. This will not affect everyday cooking, as automatic shut-off is temporary and only happens at very high temperatures. This is an exact replacement for the Electrolux part with the same number.
