harsher than others, read their directions. A scent or a propellant can make a difference in the
product. Read the ingredients.Try on a small area first.

cleaning or scouring (Use only soap pads with soap still in them. An empty pad can scratch),as

COOKTOP
Turn offaH[ the burners and aHHowthe grates to cool before starting to clean the cooktop. If you wipe
offany part of the cooktop while it is hot do so carefully as using a wet sponge or cloth can result in
steam burns.
BURNER GRATES
When lifting the grates, be careful as they are heavy. Place them on a protected surface, so they won't
scratch the surface they are laid on.
The burner grates are matte porcelain enamel over cast iron.When coo[
they may be placed in the dishwasher, or wiped dean while on the
cooktop using hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry.The burner
grates will not rust as they are matte porcelain enamel on both sides for
durability.
The occasional use of mild abrasive cleansers such as Bon-Ami °, Soft
Scrub ° or a soap-filled steel woo[ pad is okay. Abrasive cleansers, used
vigorous[}, or too often, can eventually harm the enamel Apply with a
damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry.
The porcelain may pop off the edge of the grates due to rapid
temperature change when the burners are turned on. Do not be GRATE
concerned as this does not result in the deterioration of the grates.The
cast iron soon darkens to blend with the porcelain enamel. Be careful when wiping an area where the
porcelain has popped off, as the edges may be sharp.
