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.
Oven Cleaning
Some models have grates that can be cleaned
in a self-cleaning oven. If grates do NOT have
rubber bumpers (pads) attached to the bottom
of the grates, they may be cleaned in the oven
using the self-clean cycle. See your oven's
Owner's Manual for specific instructions. If
self-cleaning instructions are not mentioned
in Owner's Manual, the grates should not be
cleaned in a self-cleaning oven.
Dishwasher Cleaning
The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove any burnt-on food particles prior to
placing the grates in the dishwasher. Place
them on the lowest rack of the dishwasher and
run on a "heavy duty" cycle.
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.
Although the grates are durable, they will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care you can give them. This is due to
their continual exposure to high temperatures
and abrasion by the cookware.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the grates
from the oven after the self-clean cycle has
ended. The grates may still be hot.
Once the self-clean cycle is complete, the
grates may carefully be removed. You may
notice a white residue on the grates. Wipe it
off with a damp sponge. If white spots persist,

vinegar and water and wipe the grates again.
When replacing the grates on the cooktop, be
sure to locate them correctly. Grates should fit
securely into the cooktop.
If any of the rubber grate support bumpers
in the cooktop are missing or damaged,
replacement parts can be obtained.

To insert the new bumpers, simply place the
cone-shaped end of the bumper into the hole
in the cooktop and push down while gently
twisting the bumper.

Griddles
Cast-Iron: Clean your cast-iron griddle with
a stiff brush and hot water. Using soap is
not recommended, and harsh detergents
should never be used as they will remove
the seasoning. Rinse with hot water and dry
thoroughly. After a rinsing, preseason the
griddle by applying a light coat of cooking
oil to the griddle surface. Wipe off excess oil
with a paper towel.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Griddle Precautions:
Ŷ 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.
