the surface cavity first. Make sure
the opening in the drip pan lines up
with the receptacle.
Insert the terminals of the plug-in
unit through the opening in the
drip pan and into the receptacle.
Guide the surface unit into place
so it fits evenly into the drip pan.
Do not lift a plug-in unit more

flat on the drip pan when you
plug
it back in.
Repeated lifting of the plug-in
unit more than 1“ above the drip
pan can permanently damage
the receptacle.
Caution: Be sure all controls are
turned to OFF and surface units
are cool before attempting to
remove them.
After removing a plug-in unit,
remove the drip pan under the unit
and clean it according to directions
in the Cleaning Guide. Wipe
around the edges of the surface
unit opening. Clean the area below
the unit. Rinse all washed areas
with a damp cloth or sponge.

dishwasher.
Do not immerse plug-in surface
units in liquids of any kind.
Do not bend the plug-in surface
