and harsh 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.
Oven Cleaning
Some models have grates that can be cleaned in a self-
cleaning oven. If grates do NOT have rubber bumpers
(pads) attached to the bottom of the grates, they may
be cleaned in the oven using the self-clean cycle. See
your oven's Owner's Manual for specific instructions. If
self-cleaning instructions are not mentioned in Owner's
Manual, the grates should not be cleaned in a self-
cleaning oven.
Dishwasher Cleaning
The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove
any burnt-on food particles prior to placing the grates in
WKHGLVKZDVKHU3ODFHWKHPRQWKHORZHVWUDFNRIWKH
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.

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

and water and wipe the grates again.
When replacing the grates on the cooktop, be sure to
locate them correctly. Grates should fit securely into
the cooktop.
