BURNER GRATES
Your range has three professional-style grates.
For maximum stability, these grates should only be
used in their proper position; Two side grates can be
interchanged left to right and front to back. Center
grate can be also interchanged front to back.
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.
Although they are durable, the grates will gradually
lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can
give them.
CLEANING
Lift the grates out when they have cooled. They
should be washed regularly and, of course, after
spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure
they are positioned securely over the burners.
Replace the grates so that continuous arcs are
formed with the center ribs of all three grates. The
grates are dishwasher safe.
NOTE: DO NOT clean the grates in a self-cleaning
oven.
COOKTOP SURFACE
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
such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc. or
foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set. Wash and rinse when the surface
has cooled.
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.
