Care of Modules
Some of the modules must be
cured or preconditioned before
using them for the first time.
Modules and accessories should
be cleaned after each use. The
longer a soil remains, the harder
it is to clean. See each module
section in this manual for specific
instructions. Never immerse any
module in water.

See Cleaning Guide on pages 40 and 41.
Plug-In Elements of the
Open Coil Module
Clean the area under the drip pans
often. Built-up soil, especially
grease, may catch fire.
To make cleaning easier, the plug-
in elements are removable.
Lift a plug-in element about 1"
above the drip pan-just enough to
grasp it—and pull it out.
Do not lift a plug-in element
more than l". If you do, it may
not lie flat on the drip pan when
you plug it back in.
Repeated lifting of the plug-in
element more than 1" above the
drip pan can permanently
damage the receptacle.
Caution: Be sure all controls are
turned to OFF and the modules
are cool before attempting to
remove them.
After removing a plug-in element,
remove the drip pan.
Do not put the plug-in element
into water. It cleans itself when
heating during normal use. To
remove any charred soil, clean with
a dry, stiff plastic or bristle brush
when elements have cooled. Never
use steel wool or metal scouring
pads because they may damage
the outer casing of the element.
Wash the drip pans with soap
and water after each spillover. Soak
stubborn stains with an ammonia-
soaked paper towel, then rub gently
with a non-metal scouring pad. If
spills go below the drip pans,
clean inside the module with a well
wrung-out soapy cloth.
