Burner Grates
Your range has three professional-stgle
double grates. These grates are position-
specific. Formaximum stability, these grates
should onlg be used in their proper position;
they cannot be interchanged left to right or
front to back. For convenience, the
undersides of the left and right grates are
marked "LEFTFRONT" and "RIGHTFRONT."
Hake sure the front portion of both grates is
in front. The middle grate has a bow in front.
Hake sure the bowed portion istoward the
front of the range.
NOTE:Some models onlg have side grates.
Cleaning
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularlg 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. Replacethe grates so that
continuous arcs are formed with the center
ribs of all three grates.
NOTE:Some models onlg have side grates.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate mag chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia
and let them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although theg are durable, the grates will
gradually losetheir shine, regardless of
the best care you can give them. This is
due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. You will notice this sooner
with lighter color grates.
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 (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.)or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
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.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials
in an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do
not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinitg of this or ang other
appliance.
NOTE:Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsg water or a stainless steel cleaner or
polish. Always wipe the surface in the
direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.
