Care and cleaning of the coil cooktop.
(on some models)
Be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.
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.
Push the surface unit back toward
the receptacle to free the locking tab
from the cooktop.
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:
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.
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
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.
