Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)

Safety

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.

Instructions

Be sure all surface units are turned off before raising the cooktop.

Lift-Up Cooktop (on some models)

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.

Surface Units (on some models)

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.

and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips

Drip Pans (if so equipped)

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.
