Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation
12
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using for the first time, you should clean your range
thoroughly with hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse and
dry with a soft cloth. This removes any residual oil and
grease left on the surface from the manufacturing process.
Refer to care recommendations on pages 43–44.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before using your dual fuel range,
check that the surface burner parts are assembled
correctly.
The optional griddle and French top need to go through a
“burn in” period to clean oils from the bottom of these
assemblies. To prevent food from sticking and to protect
the surface from moisture, it is necessary to “season” the
griddle and French top prior to use. Refer to the following
pages for specific instructions on using the optional char-
broiler, griddle and French top.
The use of proper cookware is very important. Refer to
cookware selection on page 42 for recommendations.
