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,
etc., wash with soap and water once the
surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish
with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use
warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner
or polish. Always wipe the surface in the
direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.

appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the

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.

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.
The grates may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
