ELECTRIC EXPANDO RANGES
SURFACE PLATES
French Plates are most e cient when used
with utensils having a maximum inside diameter
of 10" (254 mm) or a minimum inside diameter
of 9" (229 mm). Stock pots of 9-, 12- and 16-qt.
capacities are recommended for bulk cooking.
(Fig. 3)
The solid surface French Plates are rated for
2000 Watts and are controlled by an in nite heat
switch. A solid surface plate will reach cooking
temperature from room temperature in 5 to 7
minutes at a HIGH switch setting. Each control
knob is marked HIGH, MED, LOW, MED.LO,
VERY LO and OFF. The HIGH setting is full
heat. Use the HIGH setting to start cooking
quickly and to bring water to a boil.

Some DO'S and DO NOT'S of
Surface Cooking
DO use utensils to t the tops (9" to 10" [229 mm
to 254 mm] inside diameter).
DO use at-bottomed, straight-sided pots and pans.
DO use covers for stock pot work. Water will boil
much sooner, and much less heat is required for
cooking in a covered container. Less water may
be used, thereby retaining vitamins and minerals
in the food.
DO turn o plates a few minutes before cooking
is completed to use the heat stored in the plate.
DO NOT allow surface plates to idle unloaded at
HIGH switch settings. The surface plates will
reach very high temperatures, and this can
cause the casting to warp or dome. Plates idled
at a setting of MED.LO and turned to HIGH when
loaded, will perform bulk cooking jobs just as
rapidly, without damage to the plates.
POWER OUTAGE
If a power outage occurs, the range will
automatically shut down. When power is restored,
the range will automatically resume normal
functions after it has preheated for 5 minutes. If
range is to be unattended when power is restored,
turn all control knobs/switches to OFF before
leaving. When power is restored, turn desired
control knobs/switches back on. The unit will be
preheated in 5 minutes and normal cooking
operations can be resumed.
WARNING:
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CLEANING.
Do not use Dawn dish detergent to clean the
exterior components of the range. Dawn can
"leach" carbon from stainless steel and cause it to
rust. Do not use scouring powder. It is extremely
di cult to remove completely, and can build up
accumulations that will damage the range.
Clean all parts of the range with a soft cloth and
warm water and detergent. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
