Washthem in hot, soapywaterand
rinse with clean water.Dry the
grateswith a cloth—don’tputthem
back on the rangewet.
Togetrid ofburned-on food, soak
the grates in a slightlydiluted
liquidcleanser.
Althoughthey’redurable, the
grateswillgraduallylose their
shine, regardlessofthe best care
youcan givethem, This isdueto
their continualexposureto high
temperatures.
Do notoperate a burner for an
extendedperiod oftime without
cookwareon the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without
cookwareto absorb the heat.
When replacing a
