of course, after
spillovers Wash them
in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water.. After
cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm
oven for a few minutes. Do not put the grates back on the

coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.

covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/_ cup (62 ml)
ammonia to loosen the soil,. Let sit overnight (or
approximately 12 hours), then scrub with a soap-filled
scouring pad if necessary. Rinse grates thoroughly and dry
completely before replacing them on the range top.
Although they're durable, the grates will gradually lose
their shine, regardless of the best care you can give
them. This is due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate, The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat,
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or in
a self-cleaning oven.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range.
They provide the air inlet and outlet that are
necessary for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion,. Air openings are located at the
rearof the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven
door, and at the bottom of the range, under the kick
panel, storage drawer or broiler drawer (depending on
the model)_

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of
the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull,
clean up spills right away, Foods with a lot of acid
(tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to
sit When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc,, wash with
soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse
and polish with a dry cloth..
Do not store flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance

use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water, or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft ctolh.

plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel--they will damage the finish A 50/50 solution of
