CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to
help assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING
ANY PART OF THE RANGE.
To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest
setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.
CAUTION
• Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and
the surface units are cool before attempting to
remove them.
• 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 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 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 (on some models) 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 could cause shock, fire or
damage to the range.

around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.
