Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also
help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the
coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce
excess heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more
information, see the "General Cleaning" section.
Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls,
make sure they are cool and the control knobs are off.
To Remove:
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then
lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.
The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath.
Be careful not to drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the
finish and the cooktop frame. For more information, see the
"General Cleaning" section.
To Lift:
1. Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock
into place.
2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.
To Replace:
1. Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support
rods back to unlock them.
2. Slowly lower the cooktop into place.
3. Lift out the burner bowl.
