aring for Your Electric Cast-Iron Surface Unit Cooktop
The cast-iron surface units
1. For best results, wipe off surface units
with a damp sponge and soapy water
after each use. Remove burned-on food
with a nonabrasive, soap-filled scouring
pad. The red spot in the center of the
surface unit will gradually wash off. This
is normal and will not affect the operation
of the surface unit.
2. Dry the surface unit completely after
cleaning. Turn on the surface unit for a
few minutes to thoroughly dry.
3. After the surface unit has cooled, use
a paper towel to apply a thin coat of salt-
free oil to the surface units to season and
restore the finish. Wipe excess oil off trim
rings.
4. Then heat 3-5 minutes. Some smoking
may occur; this is normal. If surface units
have dark spots caused by grease and
food, the oil treatment will improve their
appearance but not eliminate the spots.
NOTE: You can apply optional Electrol
dressing to the surface units to improve
their appearance.
