Grates
Porcelain enamel burner
grates
should be washed
regularly and,
of course,
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
ran&e wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re
positioned securely over the burners.
To get
fid
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.
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.
Drip Pans
Remove the grates. Then lift out the chrome-plated
drip pans. Wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse them
with clean, hot water and polish them dry with a
cloth. Never use abrasive cleansers or steel
wool—they’ll scratch the surface. Instead, soak the
drip pans for about 20 minutes in slightly diluted
liquid cleanser or mild solution of ammonia and water
( 1/2 cup of ammonia to one gallon of water).
After soaking, wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse
with clean water and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
