Care and Cleaning

Surface Units and Drip Pans

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest

setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

CAUTION

•

Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and

the surface units are cool before attempting to

remove them.

• Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.

• Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

• Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

• Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair

the plug-in receptacle.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units

must be removed first.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan

and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch.

If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when

you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more

than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently

damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

• Replace the drip pan into the recess in the

cooktop. Make sure opening in the pan lines up

with the receptacle.

• Insert the terminals of the surface unit through

the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

• Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Drip Pans

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.

For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place

them in a covered container (or a plastic bag) with 1/4

cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a

soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse with clean

water and polish with a clean soft cloth.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Clean the area under the drip pans often.

Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.

Do not cover drip pans with foil. Using foil so close

to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to

the range.

Lift-Up Cooktop

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,

especially grease, may catch fire.

To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be

lifted up and supported in the up position.

Be sure all the surface units are turned off

before raising the cooktop. The surface units and

drip pans do not need to be removed, however, you

may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier.

A support rod will hold the cooktop up while you

clean underneath it.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy

water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful

not to pinch your fingers.
