Surface Units (on some models)
To clean the surface units, turn the control
to the highest setting for a minute. The coils
will burn off any soil.
To remove a surface unit:
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the
surface units must be removed first.
Lift the surface unit about 2.5 cm (1 inch)
above the drip pan and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 2.5 cm (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 2.5 cm (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 the 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.
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.
Drip Pans (on some models)
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 60 ml (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
fire.
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so
close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or
damage to the range.
Lift-Up Cooktop
(on some models)
Some models have a cooktop that can be
lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire
cooktop may be lifted up and supported in
the up position.
The surface units do not need to be
removed; however, you may remove one to
make raising the cooktop easier. There are
two side supports that lock into position
when the cooktop is lifted up.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot,
mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower
the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your
fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back
and gently lower the cooktop until it rests in
place.
Be sure all surface units are turned
off before raising the cooktop.
