Anti-Tip Device; Surface Units - GE Self-Cleaning Electric Range Use And Care & Installation Manual

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to
help assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART
OF THE RANGE.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason,
be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the
range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in
tipping of the range and cause injury.

CARE AND CLEANING
Drip Pan
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.
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 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.
