Surface Units and Drip Pans
To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

•Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and 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.
•Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

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 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.
Do not cover drip pans with foil. Using foil so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the cooktop.
