Care and C1eafing (continued)
Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop
often. Built-up soil, especially
grease, may catch fire.
To make cleaning easier, the entire
cooktop maybe liiled up and
supported by locking arms that
catch and hold the top when it’s all
the way up.
Be sure all burners are turned off
before raising the cooktop. Then
remove the grates and drip pans,
grasp the front sides of the cooktop
and lift.
After cleaning under the cooktop
with hot, miId soapy water and a
clean cloth, put the cooktop back in
place. Lifl up a little to release the
locking arms and push them in
while guiding the top back down.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
Burner Gates
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 range wet.
To get rid of burned-on food, soak
the grates in a slightly diluted
liquid cleanser.
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.
When replacing a
pair of grates,
the irregular
sides should
interlock in
the middle as
shown at right.
Drip Fans
Remove the grates and lift out the
chrome drip pans. Wash them in
hot, soapy water. Rinse them with
clean, hot water and polish them
dry with a cloth. Never use
abrasive cleaner or steel wooJ—
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).
Aller soaking, wash them in hot,
soapy water. Rinse with clean water
and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
When replacing
drip pans, the
notch on the rear
pan and the notch
on the front pan
should meet in
the middle.
