Burner Grates - GE JGBS07 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Grate
Burner cap
Burner head
Drip pan (if
so equipped)
Electrode
Cooktop
Sealed Burner Assemblies
Turn all controls OFF before removing the
burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates, caps, burner heads and
drip pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off,
making them easy to clean. The electrodes
are not removable.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring
powders to clean the burners.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the
cooktop without all burner parts, drip pans (if
so equipped) and grates in place.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop on sealed burner models can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.

Burner Grates

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. After cleaning, dry them
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 are
positioned securely over the burners.
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.
(on some models)
Electrode
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed when the burner head is
removed. When one burner is turned
to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not
attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another
burner is on. An electric shock may
result, which could cause you to knock
over hot cookware.
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.
