detergents should never be used as they will remove

the seasoning. Rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly.

After rinsing, preseason the griddle by applying a light

coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface. Wipe off

excess oil with a paper towel.

Store in a cool, dry place.

Griddle Precautions:

Ŷ If something has spilled under the griddle, it should

be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent the

spill from getting baked onto the cooktop.

Ŷ Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle

as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle

with hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.

Ŷ Do not wash your griddle in the dishwasher.

Burner Grates

Manual Cleaning

Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and

rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food,

place grates in a solution containing ¼-cup of

household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub

grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy

water. Rinse well and dry.

Self Clean Mode

Your grates may be cleaned in the oven using the self-

clean cycle.

NOTE: When placing or removing grates from the oven,

do not slide the grates on the racks. Doing so could

damage the enamel on the racks.

To self-clean your grates:

1. Insert racks in positions 1, 3, and 5 or positions 2 and 4.

2. Gently place one grate on each rack.

Once the grates are placed in the oven, operate the self-

clean cycle per the instruction in the Cleaning the Oven

section.

oven after the self-clean cycle has ended. The grates

may still be hot.

Once the self-clean cycle is complete, the grates may

carefully be removed. You may notice a white residue on

the grates. Wipe it off with a damp sponge. If white spots

When replacing the grates on the cooktop, be sure to locate

them correctly. Grates should fit securely into the cooktop.
