Burner Grates; Cooktop Surface - LG LCG3691ST Guide D'utilisation

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE COOKTOP

BURNER GRATES

Your 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. Replace the grates so that continuous arcs
are formed with the center ribs of all three grates.
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.

COOKTOP SURFACE

To prevent damage to the stainless steel surface of
the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull,
clean up spills immediately. Foods with a lot of acid
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or
foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set. When the surface has cooled, wash
and rinse.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash
with soap and water after the surface has cooled.
Then rinse and polish by using a dry cloth.

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 color grates.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning
oven.
NOTE: Do not place
flammable materials on
or near the cooktop.
Do not store or use
combustible materials,
gasoline or other
flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of
this of any other appliance.
NOTE: Do not try to lift the cooktop.
Lifting the cooktop can cause damage
