Consumer Support 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 sealable storage bag, with 1⁄4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Soak for at least 1 hour. Rinse with clean water and wipe 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.
