Burner Grates
The range consists of three separate professional-
style grates. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used when in their proper position. The
center grate can be interchanged from front to back.

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.
Cleaning the Burner Grates
CAUTIOn
•
Do not lift the grates out until they have cooled.
•
Do not put the grate in the oven during self
cleaning mode.
•
Grates should be washed regularly and after
spillovers.
•
Wash the grates in hot, soapy water and rinse with
clean water.
•
The grates are dishwasher safe.
•
After cleaning the grates, let them dry completely
and securely position them over the burners.
Cleaning the Cooktop Surface
CAUTIOn
•
To avoid burns, do not clean the cooktop
surface until it has cooled.
•
Do not lift the cooktop surface. Lifting the
cooktop surface can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.
•
When water is spilled on the cooktop, wipe up
water immediately. If water is left on the cooktop
for a long time, discoloration may occur.
Foods with high acid or sugar content may cause a
dull spot if allowed to set. Wash and rinse soon after
the surface has cooled. For other spills such as oil/
grease spattering, etc., wash with soap and water
when the surface has cooled, then rinse and polish
with a dry cloth.
Oven Air Vents
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop,
at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the
bottom of the range.
Oven Air Vent
CAUTIOn
•
The edges of the range vent are sharp.
Wear
gloves when cleaning the range to avoid injury.
•
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the
hood or filter.
nOTE
Do not block the vents and air openings of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion.
Control Panel
To prevent activating the control panel during
cleaning, unplug the range. Clean up splatters with
a damp cloth using a glass cleaner. Remove heavier
soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of
any kind.
