Surface Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position the grates should be flush and level. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop.
To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with the indentations in the cooktop. See cooktop illustrations in the “Parts and Features” section for proper grate positioning.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.
