Burner Grates
The cooktop has three professional-style grates. These grates are position-specific. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper position. Because of the varied burner sizes, the side grates cannot be exchanged nor can any of the grates be rotated front to back.
Cleaning
Lift grates off when they are cool.
Grates should be cleaned regularly and, of course, after spills. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned properly over the burners.
The grates may be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not operate a burner for a long time without cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
To remove burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container.
Soak them with 1/4 cup ammonia for several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.

Appearance may vary. The grates may be cleaned in a dishwasher.
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 colored grates.
Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven.
