Wait until the appliance has
cooled.
Carefully lift off the burner
grates and place them on a pro-
tected surface.
Scrub with a non-metallic brush
and soapy water. Carefully
clean around the rubber feet. If
the rubber feet come off, the
grates may scratch the rangetop
surface.
Dry the burners grates com-
pletely. If there are water
droplets or damp patches on the
cooktop when you start cooking,
the enamel may be damaged.
Place the burner grates in their
proper position.
Clean with soapy water and soft
cloth, then rinse and dry with a
soft cloth.
Condition steel with the Ther-
mador Stainless Steel Condi-
tioner (part # 00576697).
Remove water spots with a cloth
dampened with white vinegar.
Remove heat discoloration with
Bar Keeper's Friend® 1 .
Wipe with recommended
cleaner.
Rinse and dry immediately.
Make sure the burner caps are
seated properly on the burner
base after cleaning.

Important notes:
The grates are heavy; use care when you lift them up.
¡
Acidic and sugar-laden spills deteriorate the enamel. Re-
¡
move soil immediately after the appliance has cooled
enough to touch.
Blisters, crazing or chips are common due to the ex-
¡
treme temperatures on the grate fingers and rapid tem-
perature changes.
If you use abrasive cleaners too vigorously or too often
¡
they may eventually mar the enamel.
DO NOT clean in a self-cleaning oven.
