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
To prevent rusting, apply a light coating of cooking oil to the grates.
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.
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)
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.
Care and Cleaning
Glass Cooktop (on some models)
To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning on and becoming more difficult to remove.
As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can use any liquid household detergent.
Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads, cleansing powder and scouring
Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.
CAUTION: Do not cook on or clean a broken or cracked cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers penetrating the cooktop can create a risk of electric shock. Call for a service technician immediately.
