Instructions Operating Instructions

Appearance may vary.

The grates may be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Left Front Center Right Front

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 position; they cannot be interchanged left to right or front to back. For convenience, the undersides of the left and right grates are marked “LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHT FRONT.” Make sure the front portion of both grates is in front. The middle grate has a bow in front. Make sure the bowed portion is toward the front of the range. In addition, the middle grate is supported by the left and right grates and must be installed LAST for stability.

Cleaning

Lift 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 continuous arcs are formed with the center ribs of all three grates.

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 get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.

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 self- cleaning oven.

Troubleshooting

Cooktop Surface

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, 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, drawer 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.

NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

NOTE: For stainless steel cooktops, refer
to the Stainless steel surfaces section.	35
