Burner Grates
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.
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 remove burned-on food, use a soap-
filled scouring pad.
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.
For porcelain cooktop models only:
■ After cleaning the grates, 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, make
sure they are 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.
Cooktop Surface (on porcelain cooktop 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
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 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.
If your model has single grates,
do not clean them in a dishwasher.
If your model has double grates,
they may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.

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 sudsy water, a stainless steel cleaner
such as Kleen King
®
, or an all-purpose
liquid or spray cleaner. Always scrub
in the direction of the grain. Rinse
thoroughly with a sponge or cloth and
clean water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish,
such as Stainless Steel Magic
®
, Revere
Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner
®
, or
Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish
®
. Follow
the product instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.
