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 up edge of surface element across from terminal
end. Lift just enough to clear edge of the drip bowl.
2.
Gently slide the surface element out of the terminal
plug.
3.
Lift the drip bowl up and out.
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.
Be sure the range is cool before removing elements or
drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal ends when
replacing elements after cleaning.

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 Raise the Top for Cleaning (Some Models Only)
1.
Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Lift-up rod will
support the top in its raised position. Only lift the top
high enough to allow the support rod to rest in place
under the front of the cooktop.
2.
Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy
water.
3.
To lower the top, lift the top slightly and lower the
rod. Lower the range top into the range frame.
(Some Models Only)
When lowering the lift-up range top, grasp the sides
with finger-tips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers.
DO NOT drop or bend the range top when raising or
lowering. This could damage the surface.
