Care and Cleaning

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool.

Grates should be washed

regularly and, of course,

after spillovers. Wash

them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water.

After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in

a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates

back on the range while they are wet. When replacing

the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over

the burners.

To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light

coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates

in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup

ammonia to loosen the soil. Let sit overnight

(or approximately 12 hours), then scrub with a

soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse grates

thoroughly and dry completely before replacing

them on the range top.

Although they’re 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. You will notice this sooner with

lighter color grates.

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.

CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or

in a self-cleaning oven.

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface

of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming

dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of

acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods

with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if

allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For

other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with

soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then

rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Be careful when you clean the cooktop because

the area over the pilot will be hot (on models with

standing pilots).

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.

To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom

from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet

on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You

can use aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole

shelf. This is particularly important when baking a

fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot

fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic

(such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with

vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage

to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped

up immediately.

If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom,

allow the oven to cool first. Remove the oven bottom

for easier clean-up and to prevent damage to the

continuous cleaning oven coating (on some models).

Frequent wipings with mild soap and water

(particularly after cooking meat) will prolong the time

between major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly. Soap left

on the oven bottom can cause stains.

For heavy soil, use an abrasive cleaner or a soap-

filled scouring pad. A commercial oven cleaner may

also be used, following the package directions.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible

materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
