Cooktopsurface

There are a number of precautions you can take to avoid marring the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull. Don’t slide heavy pans across it. If you spill foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruitjuices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content, clean them up as soon as possible. If allowed to set, these foods could cause a dull spot. Also, no matter how stubborn-the food stain, never use harsh abrasive cleansers. They could permanently damage the enamel surface. We recommend

a cleanser such as Soft Scrub@ brand cleanser* or a similar cleaning product.

Do notstoreflammable materialsin an oven or near the cooktop.Do not storeor use combustiblematerials,gasoline or other flammablevaporsand liquids in the vicinityof this or any other appliance.

BurnerGrates

Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To get rid of burned-on food, soak i the grates in a slightly diluted liquid detergent. Don’t let them soak for more than 30 minutes.

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.
