Burner
grates
Cast-iron burner grates should be washed
regularly and especially after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth—
don’t put them back on the cooktop wet.
When replacing the grates, be sure they’re
positioned securely over the burners.
To get rid of burned-on food,
place the
grates in a covered container or plastic bag.
Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak
for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry.
The grates may also 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.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
After cleaning, replace the two side grates with
their locking rails toward the center. Replace
the center grate so that a continuous “arc” is
formed with the center ribs of all three grates.
Make sure the rails on the center grate are
locked over the rails on the side grates and that
all grates are stable and level.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your cooktop has two rubber feet
on each leg of the burner grates. If any of these
rubber feet should become damaged or lost,
replace it with one of the extra rubber feet
supplied with your cooktop.

Burner caps
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy
water and rinse with clean water. You may scour
with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on
food particles.
Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth—don’t
reassemble them wet. Replace the burner caps.
Make sure that caps are replaced on the correct
size burner. There are four medium sets and one
large set of rings, heads and caps.
