Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsConsumer Support32Burner GratesYour range has three professional-styledouble grates. These grates are position-specific. For maximum stability, these gratesshould only be used in their properposition; they cannot be interchanged leftto right or front to back. For convenience,the undersides of the left and right gratesare marked “LEFT FRONT” and “RIGHTFRONT.” Make sure the front portion ofboth grates is in front. The middle gratehas a bow in front. Make sure the bowedportion is towards the front of the range.CleaningLift out when cool. Grates should bewashed regularly and, of course, afterspillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy waterand rinse with clean water. When replacingthe grates, be sure they are positionedsecurely over the burners. Replace thegrates so that continuous arcs are formedwith the center ribs of all three grates.Do not operate a burner for an extendedperiod of time without cookware on thegrate. The finish on the grate may chipwithout cookware to absorb the heat.To get rid of burned-on food, place thegrates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cupammonia and let them soak several hoursor overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.Although they are durable, the grates willgradually lose their shine, regardless of thebest care you can give them. This is dueto their continual exposure to hightemperatures. You will notice thissooner with lighter color grates.NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaningoven.Cooktop Surface (on porcelain cooktop models)To avoid damaging the porcelain enamelsurface of the cooktop and to prevent itfrom becoming dull, clean up spills rightaway.
