size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than
the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may
be hazardous.

hazardous to your health.
Donotusestovetopgrills
CooktopCookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended
because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown
evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum
or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used
with medium heat or as the manufacturer recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel
of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass:Therearetwotypesofglasscookware—those
for oven use only and those for surface burner cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either
surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and
cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas surface
burners.

to remove burned-on food particles. The round burner
caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Burner Heads
Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad

Grate Support Bumpers (on some models)
If any of the rubber grate support bumpers in the cooktop
are missing or damaged, replacement parts can be
obtainedbycallingGEAppliancesat1.800.GE.CARES.
To insert the new bumpers, simply place the cone-
shaped end of the bumper into the hole in the cooktop
and push down while gently twisting the bumper.
Griddles (on some models)
Cast-Iron: Clean your cast-iron griddle with a stiff
brush and hot water. Using soap is not recommended,
and harsh detergents should never be used as they
will remove the seasoning. Rinse with hot water and
dry thoroughly. After rinsing, preseason the griddle by
applying a light coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface.
Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel.
Store in a cool, dry place.

Burner Grates
Manual Cleaning
Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and
rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food,
place grates in a solution 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.
Oven Cleaning
Some models have grates that can be cleaned in a self-
cleaningoven.IfgratesdoNOThaverubberbumpers
(pads) attached to the bottom of the grates, they may
be cleaned in the oven using the self-clean cycle. See
your oven's Owner's Manual for specific instructions. If
self-cleaning instructions are not mentioned in Owner's
Manual, the grates should not be cleaned in a self-
cleaning oven.
Dishwasher Cleaning
The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove
any burnt-on food particles prior to placing the grates in
thedishwasher.Placethemonthelowestrackofthe
dishwasher and run on a "heavy duty" cycle.
Donotoperateaburnerforanextendedperiodoftime
without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate
may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Although the grates are durable, they will gradually lose
their shine, regardless of the best care you can give
them. This is due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures and abrasion by the cookware.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the grates from the
oven after the self-clean cycle has ended. The grates
may still be hot.
Once the self-clean cycle is complete, the grates may
carefully be removed. You may notice a white residue on
the grates. Wipe it off with a damp sponge. If white spots
persist,wetthespongewitha50/50solutionofvinegar
and water and wipe the grates again.
When replacing the grates on the cooktop, be sure to
locate them correctly. Grates should fit securely into
the cooktop.
