CARE AND CLEANING OF THE COOKTOP

BURNER GRATES

• Your cooktop has three professional-style grates. These grates are position-specific.
• For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper position; The two side
grates can not be interchanged left to right and front to back.The center grate can not be also
interchanged front to back.
CLEANING
Lift grates off when they are cool. Grates should be cleaned regularly and, of course, after
spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the
grates, be sure they are positioned properly over the burners. Replace the grates so that
continuous arcs are formed with the center ribs of all three grates.
The grates may be cleaned in a dishwasher. Do not operate
a burner for a long time without cookware on the grate. The
finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the
heat.
To remove burned-on food, place the grates in a grate may
chip without cookware to absorb the heat. To remove
burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container.

Although they are durable, the grates will gradually lose their
shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is
due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. You will
notice this sooner with lighter color grates.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven.

COOKTOP SURFACE

dull, clean up spills immediately. Foods with a lot of acid (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set. When the
surface has cooled, wash and rinse.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water after the surface has
cooled. Then rinse and polish by using a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not place flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this of any other appliance.
