Burner Grates

The range consists of three separate professional-
style grates. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used when in their proper position.
The two side grates can be interchanged from left
to right and front to back. The center grate can be
interchanged from front to back.

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.
Cleaning the Burner Grates
CAUTIOn
• Do not lift the grates out until they have cooled.
• Grates should be washed regularly and after
spillovers.
• Wash the grates in hot, soapy water and rinse with
clean water.
• The grates are dishwasher safe.
• After cleaning the grates, let them dry completely
and securely position them over the burners.

Cleaning the Cooktop Surface

CAUTIOn
• To avoid burns, do not clean the cooktop
surface until it has cooled.
• Do not lift the cooktop surface. Lifting the
cooktop surface can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.
Foods with high acid or sugar content may cause a
dull spot if allowed to set. Wash and rinse soon after
the surface has cooled. For other spills such as oil/
grease spattering, etc., wash with soap and water
when the surface has cooled, then rinse and polish
with a dry cloth.

Oven Air Vents

Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop,
at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the
bottom of the range.
CAUTIOn
• The edges of the range vent are sharp. Wear
gloves when cleaning the range to avoid injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the
hood or filter.
nOTE
Do not block the vents and air openings of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion.
