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 down clip from the
drip bowl.
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 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 a raised position. Only lift the top far
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
lift rods down into the range frame.
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.

CARE & CLEANING
Be sure the range is cool before removing elements or
drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal ends when
replacing elements after cleaning.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Never immerse a surface element in water.
