Hello, we're very happy to see you're enjoying your new range! In addition, grates should be washed regularly in hot soapy water, rinsed in clean water, and dried before placing them back on range. Grates and caps can be cleaned in dishwasher as long as they are enamel coated on the bottom. For burned-on soil: 1) Soak grates and caps in a slightly diluted solution of liquid cleanser and scour with a non-metallic soap filled pad. 2) Place the grates and caps in a sealed bag or covered container with 1/4 cup of ammonia. Let them sit for 3 hours up to overnight to loosen soil. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, clean cloth. We recommend the following when cleaning the control panel, door, and other exterior surfaces: 1) To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. 2) Be sure all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven. 3) Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Do not let water or soap drip into the vent at the top of the door. 4) Rinse and dry well. We hope this is all helpful information! We're glad to have you in our GE Appliances family! - Guy@GEA
