Burner
caps Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot,
soapy water and rinse with clean water. You
may scour with a plastic scouring pad to
remove burned-on food particles.
Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth–don’t
reassemble them wet. Replace the burner caps.
Burner
grates
Cast-iron burner grates should be washed
regularly and especially after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth–
don’t put them back on the cooktop wet.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates in a covered container or plastic bag.
Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak
for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry.
The grates may also be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
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.
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.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your grates have rubber feet
on each leg. If any of these rubber feet should
become damaged or lost, replace it with one
of the extra rubber feet supplied with your
cooktop.

Drip trays,
drip tray
liners and
drain tubes
(if included)
Located beneath the cooktop you will find a
drip tray and liner(s). The drip trays and liners
are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are
on rollers so they are easy to remove and
replace.
To remove the drip tray liner, pull the drip tray
forward. If something has spilled into the tray,
it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to
prevent “baked on” food soil.
Grease from the griddle or the grill drains
through the drain tubes into the tray and into
the liner below.
Do not allow the grease to accumulate in
the drip tray or liner as it can be a fire hazard.
Clean the drip tray and liner as soon as they are
cool. Clean with hot soapy water.
To remove the drip tray, pull it forward to stop,
push in on the release tabs located on each side
of the tray and continue to pull forward.
To clean the drain tube use a soapy bottle
brush. A mild abrasive cleaner such as
Bon-Ami
® or Soft Scrub ® can be used. For
stubborn stains, use a soap-filled scouring pad
or a harsh abrasive cleaner such as Comet
® or
Ajax ® , rubbing lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.
