Care and cleaning of the range.
Burner Grates
Porcelain enamel burner grates should
be washed regularly and, of course, after
spillovers.
The grates may be washed either in the
dishwasher or you may wash them in hot
soapy water and rinse with clean water.
You may also use abrasive cleaners and
scouring pads to clean burner grates. Dry
the grates with a cloth—don’t put them
back on the cooktop wet.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates in a covered container. Add 1/4
cup (59 mL) ammonia and let them soak
several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse
well and dry.
Although they’re durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of
the best care you can give them. This is
due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures.
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.
After cleaning, replace the side grates so
that the center extensions are oriented
toward the center of the cooktop. Make
sure the grates are positioned securely
over the burners and that they are stable
and level.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your cooktop has rubber
feet on the burner grates. If any of these
rubber feet should become damaged or
lost, replace them immediately.

Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from 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 if allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash
and rinse. For other spills such as fat
spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water
once the surface has cooled. Then rinse
and polish with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.
NOTE: For stainless steel cooktops, refer to the
Stainless steel surfaces section.
NOTE: Do not store flammable materials in
an oven, drawer or near the cooktop. Do not
store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the
OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the insides
of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the
OFF
position
to ensure proper placement.
