Burner Grates
Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety
Porcelain enamel burner grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
The grates may be washed either in the dishwasher or you may wash them in hot soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads to clean burner grates. Dry the grates with a
To get rid of
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.
After cleaning, replace the side grates so that the center extensions are oriented toward the center of the cooktop. Make sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners and that they are stable and level.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your cooktop has rubber feet on the burner grates. If any of these rubber feet should become damaged or lost, replace them immediately.

Troubleshooting Tips Care and
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 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.
