Operating Instructions Safety

Surface unit		Surface Units (electric coil models only)
		To clean the surface units, turn the
		control to the highest setting for a
		minute. The coils will burn off any soil.
	Drip pan	To remove a surface unit:
Receptacle		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.
		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.

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.

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.

Tips Care and Cleaning

Drip Pans (electric coil models only)

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 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.

Service Troubleshooting

Support rods

Be sure all surface units are turned off before raising the cooktop.

Lift-Up Cooktop (electric coil models only)

Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up for easier cleaning.

The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position. Grasp the front sides of the cooktop and lift.

The surface units and drip pans do not need to be removed before raising the cooktop, however, you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water.
