When cleaning grates and burner caps, make sure to thoroughly dry them, especial-
ly underneath. If the bottom portion does not totally dry before setting them back
on the cooking surface, they may rust. You can also set the grates and burner caps
on top of the burner and turn the burner on high for ten to fifteen seconds for extra
drying. To prevent rusting and discoloration, do not submerge grates in water to
ly underneath. If the bottom portion does not totally dry before setting them back

Burner Bases
The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths,
cleanser, or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden nylon
spatula. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the aluminum base.
