Care and Maintenance
•
The grates are heavy; use care when lifting. Place on a protected surface. DO NOT
clean grates in a self-cleaning oven.
•
The rough texture of the grate can sometimes remove aluminum deposits from the
bottom of pans and fill in areas between the high spots on the surface of the grate. Use
special care when cooking with copper and aluminum pots and pans as this type of
cookware can sometimes leave metal deposits on the grates.
•
Blisters/ crazing/ chips are common due to the extreme temperatures on grate fingers
and rapid temperature changes.
•
Acidic and sugar-laden spills deteriorate the enamel. Remove soil immediately once the
grate has cooled.
•
Abrasive cleaners, used too vigorously or too often can eventually mar the enamel.

Stainless steel resists most food stains and pit marks providing the surface is kept clean
and protected. Never allow food stains or salt to remain on stainless steel for any length
of time.
•
Clean with mild, soapy water and soft cloth. Rinse with water and wipe dry with soft
cloth. Always wipe in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
