EZ-2-Lift™ Hinged Cast Iron Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the
proper position, the grates should be flush and level. Improper
installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching
of the cooktop.
Your cooktop comes with hinged grates for easier cleaning. The
grates pivot upward and toward the sides of the cooktop for easy
access under the grates.
The grates will stop once they are moved to their vertical (fully
open) position. A 20" (50.8 cm) minimum clearance from the
countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinets/appliances is
needed to fully open the grates. Be sure to return the grates to
their normal (down) position once cleaning is complete. The
grates are removable for cleaning.
To attach the grates to their hinges, insert the grate slot over the
hinge pin on the side of the cooktop. Be sure to keep the grate
angled above the cooktop to avoid scratching the cooktop until the
grate is seated on the hinge pin. Then position the grate down
onto the cooktop.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose
their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas
flame.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or coils. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred which affects cooking results.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space
or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
