If something has spilled under the griddle, it should
be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent the
spill from getting baked onto the cooktop.
Ŷ
Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle
as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle
with hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.
Ŷ
Do not wash your griddle in the dishwasher.

Burner Grates
Manual Cleaning
Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and
rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food,
place grates in a solution containing ¼-cup of
household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub
grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy
water. Rinse well and dry.
Self Clean Mode
If your grates do not have rubber bumpers on their
bottom surface, they may be cleaned in the oven using
the self-clean cycle. Do not attempt to clean your grates
in the oven if your grates have rubber bumpers. Doing
so will destroy the rubber bumpers and may affect the
function of your surface burners.

cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide.

When placing or removing grates from the oven,
do not slide the grates on the racks or oven bottom.
Doing so could damage the enamel on the racks or oven
