Care and Cleaning

Gas Cooktop

Burner grates

Cast-iron burner grates should be washed regularly and especially after spillovers.

The grates can be cleaned in a dishwasher or wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners and steel wool pads to clean the burner grates. Dry the grates with a cloth—do not place them on the cooktop when wet.

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.

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.

Tabs

After cleaning, replace the center grate first with its locking side tabs toward the front. Replace the side grates so that their side edges lock over the tabs on the center grate. 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.
