Vent Filter and Chamber
Remove the vent grille and vent grille gasket.
The filter is held in place at an angle with a
hold bump. Lift the filter up and out of the
vent opening diagonally.
To clean the filter,
swish it in hot, soapy
water. Rinse well with clean water and dry
thoroughly.
Do not operate the vent without the filter
in place.
To clean the vent chamber,
use hot, soapy
water. Rinse with clean water and dry
thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners; they
will damage the finish.
Replacement
Replace the filter after it is cleaned and dry.
Replace the vent grille gasket by forming it
around the vent opening and make sure the
word “FRONT” is toward the knobs. Replace the
grille.
Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

Burner Grates, Vent Grille and Gasket
Lift off when cool. Grates, grille and gasket
should be washed regularly and, of course,
after spillovers.
To clean,
wash them in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water.
Discoloration on the grates may also be
removed by using the provided cooktop
cleaning cream. Apply a drop or two on a damp
cloth and rub across the discolored area. Rinse
and dry. After cleaning, replace the burner
grates and make sure they are positioned
securely over the burners.
To remove burned-on food, use a soap-filled
scouring pad.
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.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the burner
grate. The finish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
Replacement
Before replacing the vent grille, make sure
the grille gasket is properly installed around
the downdraft vent opening, with the word
“FRONT” toward the knobs. Replace the vent
grille carefully over the gasket.
When replacing the grates, make sure the
curved sides of the grates are toward the
center.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates, grille or grille
gasket in a self-cleaning oven.
The grates, grille and grille gasket may be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Appearance may vary.
