Hot Plates
To "dry out" the Hot Plate, set the thermostat dial at 250°F and turn on the power
switch. Allow unit to cycle at least 15 minutes at this heat level. Reset the thermostat
to 350°F and allow the same time. Then reset the thermostat to 450°F and allow the
same time. Continue doing this until you reach 850
°
F, then allow the unit to maintain
this temperature for a minimum of 4 hours. More time may be required if the unit
operates in a moist environment.
If the unit is out of use for three or more days, a one-hour preheat schedule should be
used, especially when exposed to high humidity and/or cool temperatures.
French Plates
To “dry out” the French Plate, set the six-heat switch to the first setting and turn on
the power switch. Allow unit to cycle at least 15 minutes at this heat level. Reset the
six-heat switch to position 2 and allow the same time. Reset the six-heat switch to
position 3 and allow the same time. Continue doing this until you reach position 6,
then allow the unit to maintain the temperature for a minimum of 4 hours. More time
may be required if the unit operates in a moist environment.
If the unit is out of use for three or more days, a one-hour preheat schedule should be
used, especially when exposed to high humidity and/or cool temperatures.
Griddles
To “dry out” the Griddle, set the thermostat to 250
°
F and turn on the power switch.
Allow the unit to cycle at least 15 minutes at this heat level. Reset the thermostat to
350
°
F and allow the same time. Reset the thermostat to 450
°
and allow the unit to
maintain the temperature for a minimum of 4 hours. More time may be required if
the unit operates in a moist environment.
If the unit is out of use for three or more days, a one-hour preheat schedule should be
used, especially when exposed to high humidity and/or cool temperatures.
NOTICE
During the first few hours of operation you may notice a small amount of
smoke coming from the range and a faint odor from the smoke. This is
normal for a new range and will disappear after the first few hours of use.
