Cleaning the Conventional
Coll Cooktop
The cooktop cartridge does not need to be removedfrom the range for normal cleaning,
Never immerse cartridge in water to clean. This can damagewiring. A drain hole within
the cartridge permits drainage of normal spills into the porcelain drain pan where it will
drain into the grease container. Interior and bottom of cartridge may be wiped clean
with detergent solution if necessary.
Cartridge terminals, if dirty, may be polished with S.O.S. pad, but must be cleaned
thoroughly of soap and dried thoroughly before being inserted into range.
Heating E]lement_" Under normal conditions_most soil will burn off elements. The
heating elements unplug for your convenience in cleaning the drip pans. Lift slightly and
pull away from receptable. DO NOT IMMERSEIN WATER.To replace elements, push
comloletelyinto the receptacle. Make sure the elements fit flat inside the chrome bowl.
Drip Pans: TO keep the like-new appearance, clean frequently and never allow
anything to bum on twice. Remove soiled pans (first remove heating element), Clean
lightly soiled pans with soap and water or clean in dishwasher. Difficult to remove spots
can be cleaned by rubbing lightly with soapy S.O.S.pads or nonabrasivecleansers such
as BonAmi. To help release burned on soil, soak in a solution of 1/2 cup ammonia and 1
gallon warm water. Do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or cleansers not
recommended for use on chrome. A bluing of the drip pans indicates improper utensil
selection and/or using excessively high heat.
Metal Surface.,,: Cleanwith mild detergent or nonabrasive cleansers recommended
for metal surfaces in general: For hard to remove soil, scrub lightly with soapy S.O.S.
pads. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleansers since these will mar the finish. See
page 22 for cleaning instructions for stainless steel areas and cartridges.
NOTE: If excessive spill-over occurs, check the grease container.
