Surface Units and Drip Pans
To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest
setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.
CAUTION
●
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.
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units
must be removed first. Make sure the surface units are
completely cool before touching them.
Surface Unit
\
Drip Pan
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 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.
The drip pans can be cleaned by hand. Place them in a
covered container (or a plastic bag) with
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.
Clean the area under the drip pans often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.
Do not cover drip pans with foil. Using foil so close
to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to
the range.
CAUTION: Be sure all controls are turned to
OFF and surface units are cool before attempting
to remove them.
