CARE & MAINTENANCE

BURNER GRATES

The range has two or three professional-style
double grates. These grates are position specifi c.
For maximum stability, these grates should only
be used in their proper position; they cannot be
interchanged left to right or front to back.
For convenience, the undersides of the left and
right grates are marked "LEFT FRONT" and "RIGHT
FRONT". Make sure the front portion of both grates
is in front. The middle grate has a bow in front.
Make sure the bowed portion is toward the front of
the range. In addition, the middle grate is supported
by the left and right grates and must be installed last
for stability.
Cleaning burner grates
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
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 securely over the burners.
Replace the grates so that continuous arcs are
formed with the center ribs of all three grates.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. The fi nish on
the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the
heat.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a
covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let
soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well
and dry.
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.
CLEANING
Cooktop surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain-enamel surface of
the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull,
clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid
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 spattering, wash with soap
and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse
and polish with a dry cloth.
Control panel and knobs
It is a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to clean or
rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a
50/50 solution of vinegar and water. For rinsing,
use clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on
the control panel as they will damage the fi nish.
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up or
down or by hanging a towel or other such loads.
This can damage the gas valve shaft.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning. The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or they may also be washed with soap and water.
Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before
replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure
proper placement. Note that knobs are not
interchangeable. Be sure to reinstall the knobs to the
original location.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water.
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or
commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
