OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS Affinity 30Gp COOK SURFACE MAINTENANCE Regular cleaning and care for your Evo Affinity 30Gp cooktop will keep it looking and functioning its best. The cook surface is designed to hold a fine layer of cooking oil creating a ‘seasoning’ on its surface. This seasoning promotes a non-stick cooking surface and is easily maintained. Caring for Evo’s cook surface is much like maintaining cast iron cookware. When the surface requires cleaning, there are a few basic cleaning techniques to use.
