Cleaning The Cooktop
Burner Grates, Vent Grille and Gasket
Lift off when cool. Grates, grille and gasket should be
washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
To clean, wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with
clean water.
Discoloration on the grates may also be removed by
using the provided cooktop cleaning cream. Apply a drop
or two on a damp cloth and rub across the discolored
area. Rinse and dry. After cleaning, replace the burner
grates and make sure they are positioned securely over
the burners.
To remove burned-on food,
use a soap-filled scouring pad.
Although they are 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. You will
notice this sooner with lighter
color grates.
Do not operate a burner for
an extended period of time
without cookware on the
burner grate. The finish on
the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
Appearance may vary.
The grate legs have four rubber
feet. To order replacement rubber
grate feet, see the Assistance /
Parts and Accessories section.
Replacement
Before replacing the vent grille, make sure the grille
gasket is properly installed around the downdraft vent
opening, with the word "FRONT" toward the knobs.
Replace the vent grille carefully over the gasket.
When replacing the grates, make sure the curved sides
of the grates are toward the center.

NOTE: Do not clean the grates, grille or grille gasket in a
self-cleaning oven.
The grates, grille and grille gasket may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Vent Filter and Chamber
Remove the vent grille and vent grille gasket. The filter is
held in place at an angle with a hold bump. Lift the filter
up and out of the vent opening diagonally.
To clean the filter, swish it in hot, soapy water. Rinse
well with clean water and dry thoroughly.
Do not operate the vent without the filter in place.
Vent
Chamber
Remove and replace the filter diagonally
through the vent opening.
To order replacement filters, see the
Assistance / Parts and Accessories section.
When replacing the filter, make sure it
rests, at an angle, on the supports in
the vent opening.
To clean the vent chamber, use hot, soapy water. Rinse
with clean water and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
cleaners; they will damage the finish.
Replacement
Replace the filter after it is cleaned and dry. Replace the
vent grille gasket by forming it around the vent opening
and make sure the word "FRONT" is toward the knobs.
Replace the grille.
