Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

Operating Instructions Safety

When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

Burner Grates

Porcelain enamel burner grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.

Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners and steel wool pads to clean burner grates. Dry the grates with a cloth—don’t put them back on the cooktop wet.

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’re 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.

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.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)

Care and Cleaning

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid- resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water, a stainless steel cleaner such as Kleen King®, or an all-purpose liquid or spray cleaner. Always scrub

in the direction of the grain. Rinse thoroughly with a sponge or cloth and clean water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®, Revere Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner® or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish®. Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
