Burner caps and
grates
Soap and warm water
Cool before cleaning. Frequent cleaning with soap and water, and non-abrasive
pad prolongs time between deep cleanings. Be sure to dry thoroughly.
Hard to clean

½ Cup Ammonia
Place burner caps and grates in plastic bag with ½ cup ammonia. Do not pour
ammonia into bag. Ammonia must remain in cup. To avoid rust, do not soak
grates in ammonia. Close bag tightly and leave grate and caps overnight. Before
bag is opened turn face away to avoid breathing or eye contact with fumes.
Remove burner caps and grates from bag and rinse. Clean according to
instructions above.

Citric Acid

sauce, or other citrus based sauces
or products to remain on stainless

discolors stainless steel.
