CARE AND CLEANING
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 two side grates can be interchanged from left to right and front to back. The center grate can be
interchanged from front to back.
NOTE
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip with-
out cookware to absorb the heat.
y
Do not lift the grates out until they have cooled.
y
Grates should be washed regularly and after spillovers.
y
Wash the grates in hot, soapy water and rinse with
clean water.
y
The grates are dishwasher safe.
y
After cleaning the grates, let them dry completely and
securely position them over the burners.

Cooktop Surface
To avoid burns, do not clean the cooktop surface until it has
cooled. Foods with high acid or sugar content could cause a
dull spot if allowed to set. Wash and rinse when 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.
NOTE
Do not lift the cooktop surface. Lifting the cooktop
surface can lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.
