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 soapfilled scouring pad. 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.
