CARE AND CLEANING:
Cleaning
the Range – Exterior
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 . 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 range .
NOTE:
If your cooktop is equipped with shiny, silver-
colored drip pans, do not clean them in the self-cleaning
oven . Permanent damage to the finish can occur .
If your cooktop is equipped with black or gray porcelain-
coated drip pans, they can be cleaned in the oven during
the self-cleaning cycle . Before you begin a self-cleaning
cycle, remove any heavy soil from the drip pans and
place them on the porcelain-coated oven racks . Do not
place the drip pans directly on the oven bottom . After
the self-cleaning cycle is completed and the drip pans
are cool, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any
remaining ash or residue .
Lift-Up Cooktop
The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the
up position for easier cleaning .
The surface units do not need to be removed; however,
you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier .
There are two side supports that lock into position when
the cooktop is lifted up .
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower
the cooktop . Be careful not to
pinch your fingers .
To lower the cooktop, push the
rods back and gently lower the
cooktop until it rests in place .
Be sure all surface units
are turned off before
raising the Cooktop .
