LG LRG30357ST - Manual (Page 37)

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. When replacing the grates, be sure they
are positioned securely over the burners.
Replace the grates so that continuous arcs are
formed with the center ribs of all three grates.
The grates may be cleaned in a dishwasher.
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.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in
a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and
let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash,
rinse well and dry.
Although they are 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.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a
self-cleaning oven.

BURNER GRATES
Your range has three professional-style
grates. These grates are position-specific.
For maximum stability, these grates should only
be used in their proper position; they cannot be
interchanged left to right or front to back.
Make sure the front portion of both grates
is in front. The middle grate has a bow in front.
Make sure the bowed portion is toward the
front of the range.
Appearance may vary. The
grates may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
COOKTOP SURFACE
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.
NOTE: Do not store
flammable materials in
an oven, drawer 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.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation of
the range.
