When
lowering
the
lift-
up
range
top,
grasp
the
sides with

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.
