Surface Units and Drip Pans
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 (60 ml) 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 on
fire.
Do not cover drip pans with foil. Using foil so
close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire
or damage to the cooktop.
