longer a soil remains, the harder it is to clean. See

each module section in this manual for specific

dishwasher.

● 

Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

 not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair

the plug-in receptacle or the module.

● 

 operate a surface unit without the drip pan

in place. This can cause scorching 

 the module,

burning   wire insulation and loss

 the drip pan when

you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more
than   inch above the drip pan can permanently
damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

● 

Replace the drip pan into the recess in the module.

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.

Drip Pans

 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 1/4 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 

 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.
