BURNER GRATES

The four cooktop grates are designed for
specific positions. For maximum stability,
these grates should only be used in their
proper position: they should not be
interchanged. For your convenience, the
undersides of the left and right grates are
marked "OUTSIDE" and "INSIDE". Make sure
that the side marked "OUTSIDE" is on the
outer edge of your cooktop.
