General Cleaning

To Remove and Replace Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
Be careful not
to bend terminal ends when
replacing elements after
cleaning.
To Raise the Top for Cleaning
1.
Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Some models may have a lift-up rod to support the top in its raised position. Lift the top only high
enough to allow the support rod to fit into place, then gently lower the cooktop onto the raised rod.
2.
Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.
3.
Gently lower the cooktop into the frame. If your model has a support rod, lower the support rod, then gently lower the cooktop into the
frame.
When lowering the lift-up cooktop, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. DO NOT drop or
bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.
