French Top

FRENCH TOP OPERATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: The stainless steel cover must be removed prior to operating the French top.

•Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using the French top.

•To use the French top, push and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the HIGH setting. You will hear the clicking sound of the igniter lighting the burner.

•Preheat for 25 to 30 minutes before cooking on the French top. This allows the solid cast iron plate to heat thoroughly.

•To raise or lower the cooking heat, slide the pan either toward (higher heat) or away from (lower heat) the center plate. This gives you total control over the most delicate sauces. It is not necessary to adjust the flame height.

•To turn the French top off, turn the control knob clock- wise to the OFF position.

FRENCH TOP COOKING TIPS

•Always cook in pans. Do not cook food directly on the surface.

•Never remove the center plate when cooking.

•When bringing large amounts of water to a boil, it is fastest to do it on one of the surface burners.

Never leave pans on a high heat zone unattended. Be cautious when cooking food in fat or grease. It can become hot enough to ignite.

FRENCH TOP CARE

•It is best to maintain a seasoned surface to protect the cast iron from moisture.

•Clean entire surface after each use while it is slightly warm. Wipe the surface with a mild detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

•Maintain the French top as you would a cast iron skillet; keep it free from moisture.

•Reapply a light coating of peanut or vegetable oil to the French top after each use until a sheen develops.

•Occasionally, remove the seasoning and clean the French top thoroughly. Apply a small amount of white vinegar and water to the surface while it is slightly warm. Scrub and repeat until excess oil has been removed. Apply a light coat of oil for seasoning.

•The French top burner is located below the center plate. The plate remains in place during cooking but it can be lifted off to check or service the burner. Use the center plate hook provided with your range as shown in the illustration below.
