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 lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation of
the range.
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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in
the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.

appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the

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.
The grates may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Appearance may vary.
