Surface Units

WARNING

■

Be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the surface

units are cool before attempting to remove them.

■  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.

■ Do not pull on the SENSI-TEMP TECHNOLOGY

sensor cap.

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest

setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil. To

clean the Sensi-Temp Technology Sensor cap, wipe

with a damp sponge or cloth. For cooked-on food spills,

remove the burner from the range and gently scrub the

cap and supports with a damp plastic scouring pad. Do

not use steel wool. Allow the burner to dry over night

before re-installing it.

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.
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 so it rests evenly in

the cooktop.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if

misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any

acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or

vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper

towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface

has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap

and water or cleansing powders after the surface has

cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
