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,
and 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.

the six-heat switch to position 3 and allow the same time. Continue doing this
until you reach position 6, and 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

F and turn on the power
switch. Allow the unit to cycle at least 15 minutes at this heat level. Reset the

F
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.

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.
