CARE & MAINTENANCE
BEFORE YOU COOK WITH SMARTBURNER
™
Before being used for the first time, SmartBurner
™
should be heated up on the HI
or maximum setting for approximately 7-10 minutes without any utensils. During
this ‘curing’ process, the protective coating is hardened and obtains its
maximum strength.
NOTE:
There may be a slight odor the first time you use your stove with the SmartBurner
™
installed.
This is normal and should dissipate after the first use.
CLEANING YOUR SMARTBURNER
™
Always ensure burner is cool before attempting to clean.
Never soak your SmartBurner
™ or
put it in the dishwasher.
Use damp cloth or sponge with mild detergent to clean surface of burner
and surrounding plate.
Never use harsh abrasives or steel wool pads on
any part of the SmartBurner
™
.
Thoroughly wipe soap from a burner plate and towel dry.
For best results clean your burner plates and drip pans regularly.
Use dry pots and keep wet utensils or objects with condensation, such as
pot lids, away from the SmartBurner
™
.
For hard-to-remove stains, please try one of the following options:
Option #1 - Vegetable Oil:
1.
Apply vegetable oil sparingly on each burner plate and spread it around the entire surface of
the plate.
2.
Turn the hood vent ON to allow for the minimal amount of smoke created to escape.
3.
Turn the power of burners ON Med-HI.
4.
Allow the burners to be ON for roughly 5 minutes. This will help break up the grease/rust on the
burner.
5.
Turn the burners OFF after roughly 5 minutes.
6.
Once the burners are cool, clean the cast iron plates with mild soap and towel dry.
Option #2: - Electrol Range Solid Element Cleaner:
In those instances where spotting or rusting has occurred there is a product that can be applied that
can help to maintain the original matte black appearance.
Directions for use:
1.
Turn on the hood vent first as some smoke and a strong smell will occur. This is normal and is non-
toxic and will disappear in 7-10 minutes.
2.
Prior to applying Electrol clean the plates with a soapy, non-abrasive scouring pad.
3.
Dry the plates thoroughly.
4.
Apply Electrol sparingly to a plate.
5.
Spread polish evenly with a paper towel or dry cloth.
6.
Turn the element ON a Med-Hi setting for 3-5 minutes to bake the polish in.
7.
When the plate is completely cool, rub lightly with a paper towel to remove any excess polish.
Note: Electrol is available at major retailers throughout North America.
