Burner Grates
Lift out when cool. Gratesshould bewashed
regularly and, of course,after spillovers.Wash
them in hot, soapy water and rinsewith clean
water. When replacingthe grates, be sure
they are positioned securelyover
the burners.
On models with professional-style double
grates,the 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.
Forconvenience,the undersides of the left
and right grates are marked "LEFTFRONT"
and "RIGHTFRONT."
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate.
Thefinish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
Toget rid of burned-on food, placethe grates
in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia
and let them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash,rinsewell and dry.
Although they are durable, the grates
will gradually losetheir shine,regardless
of the best careyou can givethem. This
isdue to their continual exposure to high
temperatures. Youwill notice this sooner
with lighter color grates.
