Your range features an upswept porcelain
cooktop that can be lifted up for con-

until the two support rods at the front of
the cooktop snap into place.
To lower cooktop: Hold the front edge of
the cooktop and carefully push back on
each support rod to release. Then gently
lower the top into place. The support rods
will slide into the range frame.

NOTES:
•
Clean cooktop after each use.
•
Wipe acidic or sugary spills as
soon as the cooktop has cooled as
these spills may discolor or etch
the porcelain.
Coil Elements
•
When an element is turned on, it will
cycle on and off to maintain the heat
setting.
•
Coil elements are self-cleaning.

tacle.

SUPPORT ROD
ment into receptacle. Guide the element
into place. Gently press down on the
outer edge of the element until it sits level
on the drip bowl.
Drip Bowls
The drip bowls, located under each surface
element, are designed to catch boilovers
and must always be used. Absence of these
bowls during cooking may damage wiring
or other parts underneath the cooktop.
To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire,
never line drip bowls with aluminum foil.
Drip bowls will discolor (blue/gold stains)
over time, if overheated. This discoloration
is permanent. However, it will not affect
cooking performance.

ment (Model CE1). Contact your
Maytag dealer for details or call 1-
