Burner Grates
Liftout when cool.
The grates should be
washed regularly
and, of course, after
spiHovers. 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 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 the bottom of the grates.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a
covered container (or plastic bag) with ¼ cup (62 ml)
ammonia to loosen the soil. Let sit overnight (or
approximately 12 hours), then scrub with a soap-filled
scouring pad ifnecessary. Rinse grates thoroughly and
dry completely before replacing them on the range top.
Although they're 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.
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

out the drip pans..The drip
pans can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or by hand.

Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range.
They provide the air intet and outlet that are necessary
for the range to operate properly with correct
combustion_ Air openings are located at the rear of the
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at
the bottom of the range, under the kick panel, storage
drawer or broiler drawer (depending on the model).
Cooktop Surface
(on some models)
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 ff allowed
to sit. 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 cooied.. Then rinse
and polish with a dry cloth°
Do not store flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustibte
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Brushed Chrome Cooktop
(on some models)
CIean the brushed chrome top with
warm, soapy water or Bon Ami '_
brand cleanser and immediately
dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Take
care to dry the surface following
the "grain°" To help prevent finger
marks after cleaning, spread a thin film of baby oil on the
surface. Wipe away excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.
