Burner Grates
Your range has three professional-style
grates. These grates ore position-specific. For
maximum stability, these grates should only be
used in their proper position.
Cleaning Grates - Soap and Water
Lift grates out when cool. Grates should be
washed regularly and, after spillovers. Wash
them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. When replacing the grates, be sure they
ore positioned securely over the burners.
Cleaning Grates—Self-Clean Oven
To get rid of burned-on food, you may use the
self-clean cycle of your oven if your oven has
self-clean racks. Remove any burnt-on food
particles prior to placing the grates in the oven.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the grates
from the oven after the self-clean cycle has
ended. The grates may still be hot.
For heavily-soiled grates, you may notice some
white ash on the grate. Wipe it off with a damp
cloth after the grate cools. If white spots remain,
remove them with a soap-filled scouring pad and
rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits ore usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
Cleaning Grates—Dishwasher
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 on 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 ore durable, they will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best core you con give them. This is due to their
continual exposure to high temperatures and
abrasion by the cookware.
Support Bumpers
If one or more of the circular silicone grate
support bumpers in the cooktop ore missing or
damaged, replacement ports con be obtained
by colling 1.800.GE.CARES.
To insert the new bumpers, simply insert the
cone shaped end and push down while gently
twisting or rocking the bumper.
