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 the edges. Refer to the illustra-
tion below.
To protect the surface from food splatters and moisture, it is
necessary to “season” the French top prior to use.
Season the French top:
1 The French top has a protective coating that must be
removed before use. Use hot water and mild detergent
to remove. Rinse and dry.
2 Turn on ventilation.
3 Push and turn the control knob counterclockwise to HI
and heat for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the knob
to OFF and allow the surface to cool.
4 While the surface is slightly warm, pour a small amount
of peanut or vegetable oil on a paper towel and spread
evenly. Once cool, wipe off any excess oil.
FRENCH TOP OPERATION
The stainless steel cover must be removed prior to
operation.
1 Turn on ventilation.

The igniter clicks until the burner is lit.
3 Allow the French top to preheat for 30 minutes.
CAUTION
Never leave pans on a high heat zone unattended.

become hot enough to ignite.
