Stubborn stains: Soap filled steel wool pads
¡
Cleaning in the dishwasher: Remove burnt-
on food prior to placing the burner grates in
the dishwasher. Place the burner grates on
the lowest rack of dishwasher and use the
dishwasher manufacturer’s recommended
detergent.
Rinse and dry immediately.
¡
The grates are heavy; use care when you lift
them up. Place them on a protected surface
for cleaning.
¡
Blisters, crazing or chips are common due to
the extreme temperatures on the grate fin-
gers and rapid temperature changes.
¡
Acidic and sugar-laden spills deteriorate the
enamel. Remove soil immediately after the
appliance has cooled enough to touch.
¡
If you use abrasive cleaners too vigorously
or too often they may eventually mar the
enamel.
¡
Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.
Igniters / ceramic
¡
Carefully wipe with a cotton swab dampened
with water or ammonia.
¡
Gently scrape the soil off with a toothpick.
¡
Avoid excess water on the igniter. A damp
igniter will prevent the burner from lighting.
¡
Remove any lint that may remain after
cleaning.
