the lift-
up
range
top,
grasp
the
sides
with

only. Be careful
not to pinch
fingers.

Surface
Elements
and
Drip
Bowls
Surface
elements
can be unplugged
and removed
to make
cleaning
the drip
pans easier. The surface
elements
clean themselves
when
they are turned
on.
Food spilled on a hot element
will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element
may
be cleaned
with
a damp
cloth--any
remaining
soil will burn off the next time
the element
is used.
Never
immerse
a surface
element
in water.
To Remove the Surface Elements
and Drip Bowls
1.
Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface
element
and drip bowl together
just enough to clear the cooktop.
2.
While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal
end out from the terminal
plug. If equipped,
DO NOT remove the hold
down clip from the drip bowl.
To Clean
Drip Bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water
or in the dishwasher.
Rinse and dry while still warm.
Hard to remove,
burned
on soil can be removed
by soaking
the drip bowls
for
about
20 minutes
in a lightly
diluted
liquid
cleanser
or a solution
of ammonia
and water
(1/2 cup ammonia
to 1 gallon
of water).
A nylon
scrubber
may be
used after
soaking.
DO NOT use abrasive
cleaners
or steel wool,
as they will
scratch
the surface.
Always
rinse with
clean water
and polish
dry with
a soft
cloth.
To Replace Drip Bowls and Surface Elements
1.
Slide the terminal
end on the element through
the opening
in the drip
bowl.
2.
Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your
drip bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support
opposite the terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip, and snap into
place.
3.
After the element is positioned
in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end
with the terminal
plug as shown.
4.
Hold the surface element and drip bowl together
as level as possible and
firmly push the terminal end into the terminal
plug. Make sure element
terminal
is seated properly
into terminal
plug. Make sure the surface
element is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.
To Raise the Top for Cleaning
1.
Grasp the sides and lift from
the front.
Lift-up
rods will support
the top in
its raised position.
Only lift the top high enough
to allow the support
rods
to snap into place.
2.
Clean underneath
using
a clean cloth
and hot,
soapy water.
3.
To lower
the top,
gently
push
back on each rod to release
the notched
support.
Hold the range top and slide the range top down
into the range
frame.
