Appearance may vary. The grates may be cleaned
in a dishwasher.
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 colored grates.
NOTE
• Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven.
Cooktop Surface
To prevent damage to the stainless steel surface of
the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming 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 using a dry cloth.
CAUTION
• To avoid burns, do not clean the cooktop surface
until it has cooled.
• Do not lift the cooktop surface. Lifting the
cooktop surface can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.
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 or any other appliance.
• Do not try to lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can cause damage and improper operation of
the cooktop.
• If water is spilled on the cooktop, wipe it up
immediately. If water is left on the cooktop for a
long time, it may cause discoloration of the
cooktop surface and grate.
• The cooktop surface under the burner head may
become discolored if the gas surface burner is
used for a long time.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish.
Always wipe the surface in the direction of the
grain.
Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.
