COIL ELEMENTS (on some models)

Cleaning Method:

■

Damp cloth: Make sure control knobs are off and elements are 
cool.

Do not clean or immerse in water. Soil will burn off when hot.

BURNER BOWLS (on some models)

Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, 
make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the OFF 
position.
Remove the coil element by pushing the edge of the coil element 
toward the receptacle. Lift it enough to clear the burner bowl. Pull 
the coil element straight away from the receptacle to remove. Lift 
out the burner bowl.
Cleaning Method:

Chrome burner bowls

Wash frequently in warm, soapy water. (It is not recommended to 
wash chrome bowls in a dishwasher.) A mild abrasive cleaner and a 
plastic scrubber can be used to remove stubborn stains.
For heavily soiled bowls, place an ammonia soaked paper towel on 
the stains and allow to soak for a short time, then gently scrub with 
a plastic scrubber.

SURFACE UNDER COOKTOP (on some models)

The coil cooktop will lift up to provide easy access for cleaning 
beneath. Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the support 
locks into place.

Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing 
pad.
