SURFACE OPERATION
French Top
The French top is a graduated cooking surface with the
highest temperature under the center plate. Always use
cookware, do not cook food directly on the surface. For
higher cooking heat, place cookware closer to the center
and for lower heat, closer to edges. Refer to the illustration
below.
To protect the surface from food splatters and moisture, it is
necessary to “season” the French top prior to use.
Season French top:
1 French top has a protective coating that must be
removed before use. Use hot water and mild detergent
to remove. Rinse and dry.
2 Push and turn control knob counterclockwise to HI and
heat for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn to OFF and
allow to cool.
3 While surface is slightly warm, pour a small amount of
peanut or vegetable oil on a paper towel and spread
evenly.
