After installation, performance checks and adjustments, the appliance should be allowed to heat to burn off any such oils from internal parts.
OPERATION pear as the oven warms. Allow the oven to pre-heat at least 10 minutes before turning on the convection fan. Allow the oven to pre-heat 20 - 30 minutes to be fully to temperature for baking. Never place any pan or food for baking directly on the bottom of the oven. Always use a rack in at least the lowest position. Center pans on the rack for best hot air circulation around the food. If using multiple pans and the convection fan leave at least one inch of space between them.
OPERATION tion. Do NOT heat to the maximum setting during the seasoning process. During normal use if the griddle is not overheated or food is not allowed to stick re-seasoning should not be required. If necessary the seasoning procedure may be repeated. Always pre-heat the griddle at least 10 minutes before cooking. Pre-heat on low. Do NOT pre-heat on high. Do not bang the griddle plate with metal cooking utensils. Be careful not to gouge the griddle plate surface. Do NOT overheat the griddle.

After lighting turn the flame to Low. Pre-heat on Low. Do not pre-heat on High. Do not bang the plate with metal cooking utensils. Be careful not to gouge the surface. In between uses turn the control to a lower setting. Turn off when not in use. Your French Top is not a cooking griddle.
CLEANING BODY All stainless steel and painted parts should be cleaned regularly with hot soapy water. Commercially available stainless steel cleaners may be used on stainless steel. Be sure to follow manufacturer’s instruction for use. Do NOT use steel wool or metal pads or other abrasive cleaners. These surfaces are painted or polished and using these products will scratch and damage your finish.
CLEANING Clean the drip pan and grease tube thoroughly after each use to avoid a fire hazard. Apply a small amount of peanut oil to the griddle plate. Rub vigorously with a small patch of burlap or other rough cloth to remove food particles and residue. Stubborn dirt and food build-up may be cleaned with a nylon pad coated with a thin layer of cooking oil. Commercially available griddle cleaners may be used. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
HELPFUL HINTS TOP BURNERS Ensure the top grates are properly positioned so your cooking pan will sit flat and level. A front top grate may be removed and the cooking pan placed directly into the cutout for stir-fry cooking. OVEN Pre-heat the oven thoroughly before use (20-30 minutes). Never use foil to line the oven bottom or oven racks. This will block the heat flow and can create a hazard. Never place anything directly on the bottom of the oven cavity.
HELPFUL HINTS A convection oven is equipped with a motordriven fan, usually located at the rear of the oven cavity. This fan circulates heated air within the oven resulting in even heat distribution, and a consistent temperature throughout the cavity. Convection ovens can handle larger loads than standard ovens with a high degree of consistency. In a convection oven, cool air is replaced by hot air quickly and consistently, providing better browning of baked goods and poultry.
