Downdraft Gas Cooktop

Burner grates

Cast-iron burner grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.

Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth—don’t put them back on the cooktop wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well, and dry.

To prevent rusting, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of 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.

Stainless

Steel

Surfaces

(on some models)

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

Clean with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.

If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green®, or Formula 409®.

For hard to clean soil, use a standard stainless steel cleaner, such as Bon-Ami®or Cameo®. Soils can be soaked several hours with wet towels. Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

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.
