IMPORTANT NOTE:
The stainless steel cover
must be removed prior to operation of the
French Top.
Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes
prior to using the French Top.
Turn the knob to
. You will hear a 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 clockwise to the

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
regular burners.

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.
Periodically, it may be necessary to strip the
oil and stains from the plate. Apply a small
amount of white vinegar and water to the
surface while it is slightly warm. Repeat
until excess oil has been removed.
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.

Never leave pans on a high heat zone
unattended. Be particularly cautious
when cooking food in fat or grease. It can
become hot enough to ignite.
Allow the French Top surface to cool
sufficiently before cleaning.
