CARE AND CLEANING: Cleaning The Cooktop / Cleaning The Door and Drawer Cleaning The Cooktop (Cont.) Burner Grates Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food, place grates in a plastic bag containing ¼-cup of household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry. When replacing the grates, be sure to locate them correctly on the cooktop. Grates are identified by the words LEFT and RIGHT on their bottom surfaces. Grate should fit securely into the cooktop. Grates will gradually lose their shine due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. Cleaning The Door and Drawer To clean the inside of the door Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the door. Wipe dishwashing detergent over any baked-on spatters on the glass. Use a single sided safety razor blade to clean it off. Then wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any residue and dry off. The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic scouring pad. Removable Broiler Drawer (on some models) To remove: 1. When the broiler is cool, remove the grid and pan. 2. Pull the broiler drawer out until it stops, then push it back in about one inch. 3. Grasp the handle, lift and pull the broiler drawer out. Clean the broiler drawer with hot soapy water. To replace: Hold the broiler drawer in the raised position as you slide it partway into the range. Then lower the drawer and push it completely closed. Stainless Steel Handles (on some models) The stainless steel handles (on some models) can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove rust, tarnish, and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel. Do not wipe the handle with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the finish. The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation. 'RQRWUXERUFOHDQWKHGRRUJDVNHW³LWKDVDQ extremely low resistance to abrasion.
