Burner Grates for Model CGS990 Only
Your range hasthree professional-style double
grates.These grates are position-specific. For
maximum stability,these grates should only be
usedin their proper position.Forconvenience,
the undersides of the side grates are marked
"OUTSIDE".Make sure the front portion of
both grates isin front. Thecenter 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 rinsewith
clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure
they are positioned securely overthe burners.
Replacethe grates so that straight lines are
formed with the center ribsof all three grates.
Cleaning Grates--Dishwasher
Thegrates may be cleaned inthe dishwasher.
Removeany burnt-on food particles that
you can prior to placing the grates in the
dishwasher. Placethem on the lowest rack
of the dishwasher and run on a "heavy duty"
cycle.
Donot 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 ofthe
best careyou can give them.This isdue to their
continual exposure to high temperatures and
abrasion by the cookware.

support bumpers in the cooktop are missing or
damaged, replacement parts can be obtained

Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain-enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent itfrom
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 ifallowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse.
Forother spillssuch as fat spatterings, wash
with soap and water once the surface has
cooled.Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
NOTff: For stainless steel cooktops, refer to the
Stainless steel surfaces section.
