Grates and Grate Bridge 
Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron

•

Nonabrasive cleaners: Hot water 
and detergent, Fantastic®, 
Formula 409®. Rinse and dry 
immediately.

•

Mild abrasive cleaners: Bon Ami® 
and Soft Scrub®.

•

Abrasive cleaners for stubborn 
stains: soap-filled steel wool pad.

•

The grates are heavy; use care 
when lifting. Place on a protected 
surface.

•

Blisters/ crazing/ chips are 
common due to the extreme 
temperatures on grate fingers and 
rapid temperature changes.

•

Acidic and sugar-laden spills 
deteriorate the enamel. Remove 
soil immediately.

•

Abrasive cleaners, used too 
vigorously or too often can 
eventually mar the enamel.

•

Do not clean in a self-clean oven.

Igniters

Carefully wipe with a cotton swab 
dampened with water, ammonia

toothpick.

•

Avoid excess water on the igniter. 
A damp igniter will prevent burner 
from lighting.
