Burner Grates
Your range has three professional-style
double grates. These grates are position-
specific. For maximum stability, these grates
should only 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 “LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHT
FRONT.” Make sure the front portion of
both grates is in front. The middle grate
has a bow in front. Make sure the bowed
portion is toward the front of the range.
Cleaning
Lift out when cool. Grates 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.
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.
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 they are 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. 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 lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.
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 vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
The grates may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.

Griddle
NOTES:
■ The griddle is to be used over the center
burner only.
■ Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.
■ Wash with hot, soapy water after each use while
using a sponge or dishcloth.
■ If oil or food residue is left on the griddle,
further cooking will harden the residue and cause
sticking over time. In this case, use a non-abrasive
cleanser such as Bon Ami
®
or one of the soft
scrub cleansers. Apply with a sponge, Scrunge
®
or other cleaning pad labeled safe for non-
stick pans
■ Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils or
SilverStone
®
kitchen tools to prevent marring
of the coating.
■ Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
Wash with hot, soapy water after each use.
Store carefully to prevent scratching.
Griddle Precautions:
■ If something has spilled under the griddle, it
should be cleaned up as soon as possible to
prevent “baked on” food soil.
■ Do not allow grease to accumulate under the
griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the
griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean with hot soapy
water.
■ Do not place your griddle in the microwave.
■ Always turn off all surface burners before
removing the griddle. Use caution when handling
a hot griddle.
