General Cleaning
(continued)
Be sure the range is
cool before removing elements or
drip bowls.
Be careful not to bend
terminal
ends when replacing
elements after cleaning.

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.
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 clown clip from the drip bowl.
To Clean Drip Bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Rinse and dry while still
t'n
warm. Hard to remove, burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip
Z
bowls for about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution
G1
of ammonia
and water (1/2 cup ammonia
to 1 gallon of water). A nylon
r-
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.
