Burner Grates
Your range has three proti_ssional-s_'le
double grates. These grates are position-
specific. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used ill their l)roper
position; they cannot be ii_terchanged left
to right or fl'ont to back. For coi_velfience,
the tmdelsides ot the lett aim right grates
are inarked "I,EVT FRONT" and "PdGHT
FRONT." Make sure the fl'ont i)ortion of
both grates is in fl'ont. The middle grate has
a bow in fl'ont. Make sure the bowed
portion is towards the front of the range.
Cleaning
Lift out when cool. Grates should be
washed regularly and, el comse, after
spillove_s. Wash them in hot, soapy water
and rinse with clean water: _4]_en replacing
the grates, be sm'e they are positioned
secm'elv over the burne_. Replace the
grates so that contintmus arcs are fimned
with the center fibs of all three grates.
Do not opel'ate a btlYner lk)r an extended
period ot time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
To get rid ot bm'ned-on toed, place the
grates in a covered container Add l/4 cup
ammonia and let them soak several hom_
or overnight. Wash, rinse well and d_T.
Mthough they are din'able, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless ot the
best care you can give them. This is due
to their continual exposure m high
temperatures. You will notice this
sooner with lighter color grates.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning
oven.
