Solid Disk Elements
The solid disk elements are made of high strength
cast-iron alloy. The trim rings are stainless steel.
The surface has a heat-resistant coating to preserve
the surface of the element. After the unit cools, any
boiled-over material on the element should be removed
as soon as possible with a slightly damp cloth. The
element should then be dried by turning it on for a few
minutes. After it cools, wipe lightly with cooking oil.
Clean very dirty solid disk elements with a little
cleaning powder (such as Comet@ cleanser) or with a
scouring pad.
The matte black surface can be maintained by treating
it periodically with the Cello Electrol@ polish packed
with your range. Use the applicator to apply a very
thin coating of polish to the entire surface of the
element. Turn the element on high for several minutes
to bake the polish onto the element. When the element
is cool, rub lightly with a cloth or paper towel to
remove any excess polish. Before next use, burn off
the element by means of a short preheating period. A
slight amount of smoke and odor will occur.
Oven Light Bulb
The light bulb is located in the upper left corner of
the oven. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect
electrical power to the range at the main fuse or
circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the
electrical outlet. Let the bulb cool completely before
removing it. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp
cloth as the bulb will break.
Anti-Tip Device
If your range is removed for cleaning,
A
servicing or any reason, be sure anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is
replaced. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
When replacing the range:
2. Be sure the rear leg leveler fully engages the slot
in the bracket. To insure the device is properly
installed and engaged, remove the drawer panel
and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits
securely into the slot.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
—
Cooking and pre-delivery factory testing will
permanently change the stainless steel trim ring to a
gold color. This is a normal characteristic of stainless
steel and will not affect the operation or performance
of your elements. The stainless steel trim ring can be
cleaned with a good quality stainless steel cleaner.
This will also restore the trim ring to its original color,
until it is reheated.
Failure to maintain the solid disk elements as directed
will result in a defacing of the surface over a long
period of time, primarily due to corrosion as the
elements are made of cast-iron construction.
Do not place covers over the solid disk elements.
An element turned on while the cover is in place can
permanently damage the cooktop. Covers can also
trap moisture which may cause the elements to rust.
