dishwasher.
Clean the area under the drip pans often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.

Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of
any kind.
Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

NOTE: If your cooktop is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored drip pans, do not clean them
in the self-cleaning oven. Permanent damage
to the finish can occur.
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 racks. 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.
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.
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.
