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.
1. Push the surface unit back toward the receptacle to
free the locking tab from the cooktop.
2. 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.
NOTE:
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1
inch above the drip pan can permanently damage the
receptacle.
To replace a surface unit:
1. Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop.
Make sure the opening in the pan lines up with the
receptacle.
2. Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the
opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.
3. Push the surface unit in and down to lock the tab in
place so it rests evenly in the cooktop.
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.
For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place
them in a covered container (or a plastic bag) with

The drip pans may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

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
WKHVHOIFOHDQLQJF\FOH%HIRUH\RXEHJLQDVHOIFOHDQLQJ
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

pinch your fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the
rods back and gently lower the
cooktop until it rests in place.
When properly seated, the locking tab
should lock onto the cooktop rim through
the notch in the drip pan.
