Care And Cleaning
SPARK IGNITER AND ELECTRODES
The electrode of the electronic ignition system is
positioned at the rear of the burner base. When cleaning
the cooktop, be careful not to snag the igniter with your
cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur.
Be careful not to push in a control knob while cleaning. It
could cause the igniter to spark.
Make sure that the white ceramic igniters on the cooktop
are dry and clean. Clean the metal portion of the
electrode with a soft cloth or emery board.
Do not attempt to remove the electrode from the
cooktop.
BURNER GRATES
The enameled cast-iron burner grates should be cleaned
regularly.
Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
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.
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.
For stability, the frames have rubber pads on each
corner. During cleaning and use, be careful not to
damage or snag rubber pads.
GREASE TROUGH (on some models)
Grease from the griddle will drain into the enameled cast-
iron grease trough at the front of the range. Ensure grease
trough is pushed underneath the griddle lip in order to
catch grease while cooking. Once the trough has cooled, it
may be lifted out for easier cleaning.
To remove the cool grease trough from the griddle, slide it
toward the front and lift up.
Do not allow grease to accumulate in the grease trough as
it can be a fire hazard. Clean the grease trough as soon
as they are cool. The grease trough can be cleaned by
hand with hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Wipe any
spillage in the trough basin with a soft cloth.
GRIDDLE (on some models)
Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles,
using a square-edged metal spatula, while it is still hot.
Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth to remove
any remaining residue and food particles. If the griddle
is cleaned with anything other than a dry, heavy, coarse
cloth, it will need to be reseasoned.

Never flood the hot griddle with cold water. This could
cause the griddle to crack or warp.

to a yellow-brown color after use.
