The oven has 5 rack positions.
Place the gray porcelain-coated
racks in positions "R", "B" and "D"
for self-cleaning the grates. Place
one grate each on the oven racks
from side to side.
Burner Grates for Model C2S985 Only
Your range has three professional-style double
grates. These grates are position-specific. For
maximum stability, these grates should only be
used in their proper position. For convenience,
the undersides of the side grates are marked
"OUTSIDE". Make sure the front portion of
both grates is in front. The center grate can be
interchanged front to back.
Cleaning Grates - Soap and Water
Lift grates 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 straight lines are
formed with the center ribs of all three grates.
Cleaning Grates—Self-Clean Oven
To get rid of burned-on food, you may use the
self-clean cycle of your range. Remove any
burnt-on food particles that you can prior to
placing the grates in the oven. Place the gray
porcelain-coated racks in positions "R", "B" and
"D".
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the self­
cleaning oven.
Place one grate each on the oven racks from
side to side. Follow the instructions for how to
set the upper oven for cleaning.
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.lf white spots remain,
remove them with a soap-filled scouring pad
and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water
mixture.
These deposits are 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 that
you can 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 an 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 are durable, they will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care you can 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 are missing or
damaged, replacement parts can be obtained
by calling 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.
