Burner Grates
Lift omwhen cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash theln in hot, so;q_y water and rinse
with clean water. After cleaning, (hy them
thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven
for a few minutes. Don't put the grates back
on the range while 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 dm bottoli1
of the grates.
Do not operate a burner fbr an extended
period of time without cookware on tile
grate. The finish on the _'ate may chip
without cookware to absorb tile heat.
To get rid of burned-on food, place tile
grates in a covered container (or plastic
bag) with 1/4 cup mnmonia to loosen the
soil. Let sit overnight (or approximately 12
hours), then scrub xdth a soaI>filled
scouring pad if necessmy. Rinse grates
thoroughly and dxy COlnpletely before
replacing them on the range top.
Aldlough they're durable, tile _'ates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of die
best care you can give them. This is due to
their continual exposure to high
telnperatures. You will notice this sooner
with lighter color grates.

Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging tile porcelain enamel
surf_me of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tolnatoes,
sauerkrmm fi_titjuices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot if
allowed to set.
When tile surfhce has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as f_ltspatterings,
etc., wash with soap and water once the
surf>mehas cooled. Then rinse and polish
with a &y cloth.

Oven Bottom
Tile oven bottozn has a porcelain enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect dm
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on tile shelf below
the shelf you are cooking on. This is
particularly important when baking a fruit
pie or other fbods with a high acid content.
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are
highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut,
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may
cause pitting and damage to tile porcelain
enamel surfhce and should be wiped up
imlnediately.
We (ton't recommend using aluminum foil
on tile oven bottom. It can 7fffectair flow if
the holes are blocked and it can concentrate
heat at tile bottoln of the oven, resulting in
poor baking peKbrmance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled steel wool
pad. Rinse well to relnove aW soap befbre
