Receptacle

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.

NOTE: Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.

Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

Locking tab

Push the surface unit in and down to lock the tab in place so it rests evenly in the cooktop.

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.

Troubleshooting Tips

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. Rinse with clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in a 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: If your cooktop is equipped with shiny, silver-colored drip pans, do not clean them in the self-cleaning oven. Permanent damage to the finish can occur.

If your cooktop is equipped with black or gray porcelain-coated drip pans, they can be cleaned in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle. Before you begin a self-cleaning cycle, remove any heavy soil from the drip pans and place them on the porcelain-coated oven shelves. Do not place the drip pans directly on the oven bottom. After the self-cleaning cycle is completed and the drip pans are cool, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any remaining ash or residue.

Consumer Support

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.
