ANING:

 Cleaning the Range – Exterior

Cleaning the Range – Exterior (Cont.)

Surface Units

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest 
setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units 
must be removed first.
1.  Push the surface unit back toward the receptacle to 

free the locking tab from the cooktop.

2.  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.

To replace a surface unit:

1.  Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop. 

Make sure the opening in the pan lines up with the 
receptacle.

2.  Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the 

opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

3.  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.

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

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.

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

cycle, remove any heavy soil from the drip pans and 
place them on the porcelain-coated oven racks. 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.

When properly seated, the locking tab 

should lock onto the cooktop rim through 

the notch in the drip pan.
