CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
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
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.
For best results, clean the drip pans 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.
Black drip pans may be cleaned in a self-cleaning
oven after they have been thoroughly rinsed.
However, self-cleaning them may cause them to
lose their original luster and shine.
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 can cause shock, fire or
damage to the cooking center.
CAUTION: Be sure all the controls are turned to
OFF and the surface units are cool before attempting
to remove them.
Oven
Vent
The duct allows moisture and vapors to be released
from the oven. The oven is vented through a duct
centered under the right rear surface unit.
To clean the duct: Remove the surface unit and
drip pan. Make sure the duct opening is unobstructed.
Never cover the hole.
