Burner Grates
Lift out when cool
The grates should be
washed regularly
and, 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 range white they are wet..
When replacing the grates, be sure they're positioned
securely over the burners.
To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light
coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.
To get rid of burned*on food, place the grates in a
covered container. Add 1/_cup ammonia and let them soak
several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they're durable, the grates will gradually lose
their shine, regardless of the best care you can give
therno This is due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. You wilt notice this sooner with light color
grates.
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.
CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or
in a self-cleaning oven.
Drip Pans Left
Remove the grates and lift \
out the drip pans.. The drip
pans can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or by hand_

food, place the drip pans
in a covered container
with 1/_ cup (62 ml) ammonia
to loosen the soil Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring
pad if necessary.
When replacing the drip pans, make sure they are in the
correct position..
CAUTION: Do not clean the drip pans in a
self-cleaning oven.

the bottom of the range, under the storage drawer.

high sugar content could cause a du!l spot if allowed
to sit. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse°
For other spills such as fat spatterings, etco, wash with
soap and water once the surface has cooled Then rinse
and polish with a dry cloth
