Griddle

Safety

NOTES:

The griddle is to be used over the center burner only.

Do not clean the griddle in a dishwasher.

Wash with hot, soapy water after each use while using a sponge or dishcloth.

If oil or food residue is left on the griddle,

further cooking will harden the residue and cause sticking over time. In this case, use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami® or one of the soft scrub cleansers. Apply with a sponge, Scrunge® or other cleaning pad labeled safe for non-

stick pans

Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils or SilverStone® kitchen tools to prevent marring of the coating.

Never use knives or cut food on the griddle. Wash with hot, soapy water after each use. Store carefully to prevent scratching.

Griddle Precautions:

If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil.

Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle as soon as it is cool. Clean with hot soapy water.

Do not place your griddle in the microwave.

Always turn off all surface burners before removing the griddle. Use caution when handling a hot griddle.

The grates may be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Burner Grates

Your range has three professional-style double grates. These grates are position- specific. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper position; they cannot be interchanged left to right or front to back. For convenience, the undersides of the left and right grates are marked “LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHT FRONT.” Make sure the front portion of both grates is in front. The middle grate has a bow in front. Make sure the bowed portion is toward the front of the range.

Cleaning

Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned securely over the burners. Replace the grates so that continuous arcs are formed with the center ribs of all three grates.

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.

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

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. You will notice this sooner with lighter color grates.

NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven.

Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

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.
