Clean the area surrounding the surface units according to either the Brushed Chrome or Porcelain section (depending on your model).

surface units are cool before attempting to

remove them.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first.

• Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

• Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair

the plug-in receptacle.

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.

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.

Do not cover the drip pans with foil.

Using foil so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the cooktop.

Clean the area under the drip pans often.

Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
