Before using your infrared hot plate for the first time, it is essential to run the unit on the highest setting (position 5) for 3 to 5 minutes without any cooking utensils on the plates. This process protects the coating. You may notice some smoke during this initial run, which is normal and caused by manufacturing oils.
