Surface Units and Drip Pans (Electric Coil Models)

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

CAUTION

•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.

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.

•Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

•Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair the plug-in receptacle.

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.

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.

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.

Care and Cleaning

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (Electric Coil 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 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.
