	Burner Grates
	Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
	regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Appearance may vary	Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
	with clean water. When replacing the grates,
	be sure they are positioned securely over
	the burners.
	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.
	To remove burned-on food, use a soap-
	filled scouring pad.
	Although they are durable, the grates will
	gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
	best care you can give them. This is due to
	their continual exposure to high
	temperatures. You will notice this sooner
	with lighter color grates.
	NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or in
	a self-cleaning oven.

For porcelain cooktop models only:

■After cleaning the grates, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Do not put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, make sure they are positioned securely over the burners.

■To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.

Cooktop Surface (on porcelain cooktop models)

Troubleshooting Tips Installation

Customer Service

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
