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 positions. For
convenience, the undersides of the side grates
are marked “OUTSIDE.” Make sure the front
portion of both grates is in front. The center
grate can be interchanged front to back.
Cleaning Grates—Soap and Water
Lift grates 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 straight lines are formed
with the center ribs of all three grates.
Cleaning Grates—Self-Clean Oven
To get rid of burned-on food, you may use
the self-clean cycle of your range. Remove
any burnt-on food particles that you can
prior to placing the grates in the oven. Place
the gray porcelain-coated racks in positions
“R”, “B” and “D”.
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the
self-cleaning oven.
Place one grate each on the oven racks
from side to side. Follow the instructions
for how to set the upper oven for cleaning.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the grates
from the oven after the self-clean cycle has
ended. The grates may still be hot.
For heavily-soiled grates, you may notice
some white ash on the grate. Wipe it off
with a damp cloth after the grate cools.
If white spots remain, remove them
with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse
thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
Cleaning Grates—Dishwasher
The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove any burnt-on food particles that you
can prior to placing the grates in the
dishwasher. Place them on the lowest rack of
the dishwasher and run on a “heavy duty”
cycle.
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.
Although the grates are durable, they will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care you can give them. This is due
to their continual exposure to high
temperatures and abrasion by the cookware.
Support Bumpers
If one or more of the circular silicone grate
support bumpers in the cooktop are missing
or damaged, replacement parts can be
obtained by calling 1.800.GE.CARES.
To insert the new bumpers, simply insert the
cone shaped end and push down while
gently twisting or rocking the bumper.
The grates may be cleaned in
a dishwasher.
Appearance may vary.

Griddle
NOTES:
■
The griddle is to be used over the center
burner only.
■
Do not clean the griddle in a self-cleaning oven.
■ 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.

The oven has 5 rack positions.
Place the gray porcelain-coated racks
