CARING FOR YOUR RANGE

Coil Element Cooktop Models

Your range is designed for ease of cleaning. Most cleaning can
be done with soap and water or other mild household cleaners.
Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will keep it
looking and operating like new.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior.
Coil element removal/replacement
The coil elements are self-cleaning. Any spillage will burn off.
However, removal of large pieces of food or excess oil is
recommended to prevent smoking.
DO NOT IMMERSE COIL ELEMENTS IN W ATER.
NOTE: Drip bowls reflect heat back to cookware placed on the
coil elements. They also help catch spills. When they are kept
clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.
Removing a coil element
1. Make sure all coil elements are turned off and cool before
removing coil elements and drip bowls.
2. Lift the edge of the element, opposite the receptacle, just
enough to clear the drip bowl.
3. Pull the element straight away from the receptacle.
