Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and the
surface units are cool before attempting to remove
them.
To clean the surface units, turn the control
to the highest setting for a minute. The coils
will burn off any soil.
To remove a surface unit:
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the
surface units must be removed first.
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the
drip pan and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1″. 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 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.
Do not immerse the surface units in
liquids of any kind.
Do not clean the surface units in a
dishwasher.
Do not bend the surface unit plug
terminals.
Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any
way repair the plug-in receptacle.
Be sure all surface units are turned
off before raising the cooktop.
Some models have a cooktop that can be
lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire
cooktop may be lifted up and supported
in the up position.
The surface units do not need to be
removed; however, you may remove one to
make raising the cooktop easier. There are
two side supports that lock into position
when the cooktop is lifted up.
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.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on radiant top models.
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
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 or cloth to wipe it up
right away. When the surface has cooled,
wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash
with soap and water or cleansing powders
after the surface has cooled. Rinse well.
Polish with a dry cloth.

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the
drip pans.
Place them in a covered container. Add
1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several
hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well
and dry.
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.
NOTE: Do not clean the drip pans in a
self-cleaning oven.
