Burner caps

	Care and Cleaning
		Stainless Steel Cooktop
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.		Burner Cap

Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles.

Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth–don’t reassemble them wet. Replace the burner caps.

Burner grates

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

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.

The grates may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

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.

Rubber Grate Feet

For stability, your grates have rubber feet

on each leg. If any of these rubber feet should become damaged or lost, replace it with one of the extra rubber feet supplied with your cooktop.

Drip trays, drip tray liners and drain tubes

(on some models)

22

Located beneath the cooktop you will find a drip tray and liner(s). The drip trays and liners are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are on rollers so they are easy to remove and replace.

To remove the drip tray liner, pull the drip tray forward. If something has spilled into the tray, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil.

Grease from the griddle or the grill drains through the drain tubes into the tray and into the liner below.

Do not allow the grease to accumulate in

the drip tray or liner as it can be a fire hazard. Clean the drip tray and liner as soon as they are cool. Clean with hot soapy water.

To remove the drip tray, pull it forward to stop, push in on the release tabs located on each side of the tray and continue to pull forward.

To clean the drain tube use a soapy bottle brush. A mild abrasive cleaner such as Bon-Ami®or Soft Scrub® can be used. For stubborn stains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a harsh abrasive cleaner such as Comet® or Ajax®, rubbing lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.
