Burner Grates and Vent Grille
Porcelain enamel burner grates and the
vent grille should be washed regularly
and, of course, after spillovers.
The grates may be washed either in the
dishwasher or you may wash them in hot
soapy water and rinse with clean water.
You may also use abrasive cleaners and
scouring pads to clean burner grates and
the vent grille. Dry the grates and grille
with a cloth—don't put them back on the
cooktop wet.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates and grille in a covered container.
Add 1/4 cup (59 mL) ammonia and let
them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.

without cookware to absorb the heat.
After cleaning, replace the center vent
grille first. Replace the side grates so that
the center extensions are oriented toward

center extensions should slightly overlap
the vent grille. Make sure the grates are
positioned securely over the burners and
that they are stable and level.
