Surface 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.
To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with
the indentations in the cooktop.
A. Bumpers
B. Alignment indentations

(Ultra Rapid) (Stack)
The surface grates interlock using the hook on one end of the
grate and the indent on the other. To remove the grates, lift the
rear of the left grate off the hook, and then lift the front of the right
grate off the hook and pull apart. To replace the grates, replace
the left grate first. Place the front indent of the right grate over the
hook of the left grate, and then lift the rear of the left grate and
place the indent over the hook on the right grate.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose
their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas
flame.
Griddle
Griddle installed on right side of cooktop
To Use the Griddle:
1. Locate the griddle on the right side grate, as shown. The
locating feet on the bottom of the griddle will engage the grate
tines to keep the griddle from sliding.
2. Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep
food from sticking. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue
on the griddle that is hard to remove.
3. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle
slowly will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping
the griddle.
4. For preheating and cooking, set the front burner to the lowest
heat setting and the rear burner to medium-high heat for best
performance.
NOTE: The griddle may also be used on the left side grate.
For best results, the rear burner setting should be set to
Medium-Low or Medium, and the front burner setting should
be set to Low.
To Clean the Griddle:
1. Let the griddle cool, and then empty the drip tray
2. See the "General Cleaning" section of your Owner's Manual
for cleaning instructions.
3. Store griddle in a cool dry place.
