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 illus-
tration 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
