Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the entire
cooktop may be lifted. Be sure all surface
units are turned off and are cool before
raising the cooktop.
To raise the cooktop:
Remove all four control knobs. See
the
Control Knobs
section.
Remove one of the front surface units
and drip pans and use this opening
to grasp the cooktop. See the
Surface
Units
and
Drip Pans
sections.
Lift the cooktop.
Raise the support rod into place and
hook it into the bracket on the
underside of the cooktop to hold it in
place while cleaning.
To clean the cooktop:
Use hot, soapy water and a clean cloth to
clean the surface under the cooktop. To
remove burned-on spills, use a cleansing
powder. Rinse well, then polish with a
dry cloth.
To lower the cooktop:
While holding the cooktop up with
one hand, carefully disengage the
support rod from the bracket and
return it to its original location.
Gently lower the cooktop.
To fasten the cooktop down, press on
the front of the cooktop to make sure
the strike engages the catch.
Replace any drip pans and surface
units that you removed.
Replace the control knobs.

Care and cleaning of the cooktop.
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.
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.
Drip Pans
Remove the surface units. Then lift out
the drip pans.
Clean the drip pans by hand with warm,
soapy water.
To remove burned-on foods, soak them
in hot, soapy water for several hours.
Then scrub with a soap-filled plastic
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 cooktop.
