Be sure all surface units are turned off
before raising the cooktop.

Receptacle
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy
but breakable if misused. This finish is
acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar)
should not be permitted to remain on the
finish.
Lift-Up Cooktop
(on coil models)
Some models have a cooktop that can
be lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire
cooktop may be lifted up and supported
in the up position.
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.
Surface Units
(on coil models)
Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and
the surface units are cool before attempting
to remove them.
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.
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above
the drip pan and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1". 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.
Drip Pans
(on coil models)
Remove the surface units. Then lift out
the drip pans.
Place them in a covered container. Add
1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several hours
or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
The drip pans may also be cleaned
in the dishwasher.
(on radiant models)
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use
a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right
away. When the surface has cooled, wash
with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash
with soap and water or cleansing powders
after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish
with a dry cloth.
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.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on radiant top
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.
To replace a surface unit:
Replace the drip pan into the recess
in the cooktop. Make sure the 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.
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.
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: Do not clean the drip pans
in a self-cleaning oven.
