burner only.

oven.

further cooking will harden the residue and

non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami®

or one ofthe soft scrub cleansers. Apply

with a sponge, Scrunge® or other cleaning

pad labeled safe for non-stick pans

■ Use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils

or SilverStone® kitchen tools to prevent

marring ofthe coating.

dle. Wash with hot, soapy water after each

use. Store carefully to prevent scratching.

Burner Grates

Your range has 3 double grates or 4 single

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. For
convenience on double grates, the undersides
ofthe left and right grates are marked "LEFT

FRONT" and "RIGHT FRONT." 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 ofthe range.
In addition, the middle grate is supported by the
left and right grates and must be installed LAST

for stability.

Cleaning

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.

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 ofthe
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.
