SmartElementtm saves lives and property by helping to prevent cooking fires from happening in the first place. It is designed to be hardwired into electric coil stoves/ranges and must be professionally installed. For a residential plug in version that installs in seconds please see our SMARTBurnertm product.
SmartElement, with patented Temperature Limiting Control (TLC) Technology, controls the temperature of electric coil stove tops and keeps it below the auto-ignition point of most cooking oils. How does it do this? By shutting off the burner element when the temperature reaches about 350°C/662°F. When the element has cooled to below that threshold, the burner turns back on again. Think of it like a furnace for cooking. Just as a furnace turns off and on to regulate the temperature in a home or apartment, SmartElement regulates the cooking temperature of the stove top.

Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
Before You cook with SmartElement
Before being used for the first time, SmartElement should be heated up on the HI or maximum setting for approximately 7-10 minutes without any utensils. During this ‘curing’ process, the protective coating is hardened and obtains its maximum strength. NOTE: There may be a slight odour the first time you use your stove with the SmartElement installed.This is normal and should dissipate after the first use.
Cleaning your SmartElement
Always ensure the burner is cool before attempting to clean
Never soak your SmartElement or put it in the dishwasher
Use damp cloth or sponge with mild detergent to clean surface of burner and surrounding plate. Never use harsh abrasive or steel wool pads on any part of the SmartElement.
Thoroughly wipe soap from a burner plate and towel dry.
For best results clean your burner plates and drip pans regularly.
Use dry pots and keep wet utensils or objects with condensation, such as pot lids, away from the SmartElement.
FAQs
FAQs
Is it normal for the burner to glow red hot?
No. If your SMARTElement glows red hot, turn off the burner immediately. Do NOT use. Call 1-800-433-6026 or email support@pioneeringtech.com for assistance.
Does it take longer to cook food using SmartElement?
SMARTElement may take a little longer to heat up and cool down. (If it used to take 10 minutes to boil water, it may take 1 or 2 minutes longer.
Does the type of cookware I use have an impact on the cooking experience?
Avoid using warped or damaged cookware. SMARTElement works best when the entire pot/pan is in direct contact with the burner. If possible, use aluminum or stainless-steel cookware.
How can the burner size impact the cooking experience?
Cooking is more efficient when cookware size is matched to burner size. A large pot on a small burner is less efficient than a large pot on a large burner. When possible, use a lid to help food cook faster.
