Care and Maintenance
All parts of the appliance can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed to a shine with a soft, heavy pile cloth.
Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance while hot.
When cleaning this range or cooktop:
1.Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some brands of cleaners of the same type are harsher than others, read their directions. A scent or a propellant can make a difference in the product. Read the ingredients.Try on a small area first.
2.To avoid marring the surface always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish lines.The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.
3.Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, plastic non-metal or steel wool soap pads for cleaning or scouring (Use only soap pads with soap still in them. An empty pad can scratch), as recommended in this section.
4.Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid water marks.
NOTE: BRAND NAMES - In this section on cleaning, the use of name brands is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner.This does not constitute an endorsement.The omission of any name brand cleaner does not imply its adequacy or inadequacy.

COOKTOP
Turn off all the burners and allow the grates to cool before starting to clean the cooktop. If you wipe off any part of the cooktop while it is hot do so carefully as using a wet sponge or cloth can result in steam burns.
BURNER GRATES
When lifting the grates be careful as they are heavy. Place them on a protected surface, so they won’t scratch the surface they are laid on.
The burner grates are matte porcelain enamel over cast iron.When cool they may be placed in the dishwasher, or wiped clean while on the cooktop using hot soapy water,
then rinsed and wiped dry.The burner grates will not rust as they are matte porcelain enamel on both sides for durability.
The occasional use of mild abrasive cleansers such as Bon-Ami®, Soft Scrub® or a soap-filled steel wool pad is okay. Abrasive cleansers, used vigorously or too often, can eventually harm the enamel. Apply with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry.
The porcelain may pop off the edge of the grates due to rapid temperature change when the burners are turned on. Do not be concerned as this does not result in the deterioration of the grates.The
cast iron soon darkens to blend with the porcelain enamel. Be carefulGRATE when wiping an area where the porcelain has popped off, as the edges may
be sharp.
