Burner Grates
Grates should be washed regularly and after
spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water.
After cleaning, dry thoroughly by putting
them in a warm oven for a few minutes.
Don’t put the grates back on the range
while they are wet. When replacing the
grates, be sure they’re positioned securely
over the burners.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates in a covered container (or plastic
bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen
the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled
scouring pad if necessary.
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.

Care and cleaning of the range. ge.com
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop
may be lifted up and propped open.
Be sure all burners are turned off before
raising the cooktop. Then remove the
grates.
Grasp the two front burner wells and lift
the cooktop up and prop it open with
the prop rod provided. Be careful of the
pilots when the cooktop is up.
After cleaning underneath the cooktop
with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth,
hold the cooktop up, return the prop
rod to its storage position and lower the
cooktop until it snaps into position. Be
careful not to pinch your fingers.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
