Drip Pans
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 a dishwasher.
Clean the area under the drip pans often.
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the range.
Troubleshooting Tips
Be sure all surface units are turned off before raising the cooktop.
Lift-Up Cooktop
The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position for easier cleaning.
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.
