the surface units are cool before attempting to
remove them.
• Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.
• Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

and pull it out.
Surface Unit
Receptacle
,Drip Pan
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch. If you
do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug
it back in.
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1 inch
above the drip pan can permanently damage the
receptacle.
To replace a surface unit:
• Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop.
Make sure 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 on fire.
Do not cover drip pans with foil. Using foil so close
to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to
the range.
Porcelain Cooktop (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if
misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any
acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry
paper towel to wipe it up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders. Rinse well.
For other spills, such as fat spatterings, wash with
soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface
has cooled. Rinse welt. Polish with a dry cloth.

Be sure all surface units are turned off before

cooktop and lift. The surface units and drip pans do not
need to be removed before raising the cooktop, however,
you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful
not to pinch your fingers.
