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.
NOTE: Repeated lifting of the surface unit
more than 1 inch above the drip pan can
permanently damage the receptacle.
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 sealable storage bag, with 1/4
cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Soak for
at least 1 hour. Rinse with clean water
and wipe with a clean soft cloth.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Clean the area under the drip pans
often. Built-up soil, especially grease,
may catch fire.
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.
The surface units and drip pans do not
need to be removed; however, you may
remove one to make raising the cooktop
easier.
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.
Locking
tab
Push the surface unit in and down
to lock the tab in place so it rests
evenly in the cooktop.
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.
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so
close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or
damage to the range.
NOTE: If your cooktop is equipped with black
or gray porcelain-coated drip pans, they can be
cleaned in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle.
Before you begin a self-cleaning cycle, remove
any heavy soil from the drip pans and place them
on the porcelain-coated oven shelves. Do not
place the drip pans directly on the oven bottom.
After the self-cleaning cycle is completed and the
drip pans are cool, wipe them with a damp cloth
to remove any remaining ash or residue.
There are two side supports that lock into
position when the cooktop is lifted up.
After cleaning under the cooktop with
hot, 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.
