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 allowing the same time. Then reset the thermostat to
450°F allowing 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 has to operate 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.

To “dry out” the Frenchplate, 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 has to operate 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.

switch. Allow the unit to cycle at least 15 minutes at this heat level. Reset the
thermostat to 350°F allow the same time. Reset the thermostat to 450°F and
allow the unit to maintain the temperature for a minimum of 4 hours. More
time may be required if the unit has to operate in a moist environment.

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 off 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.
