Removing the Surface Elements & Drip Bowls (Coil Cooktop models only)
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.
Cleaning the Drip Bowls (Coil Cooktop models only)
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.
Replacing Drip Bowls and Surface Elements (Coil Cooktop models only)
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.
Raising the Top for Cleaning (Coil Cooktop models only)
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.
Be sure the range is cool
before removing elements or drip bowls.
Be careful not to bend terminal ends
when replacing elements after cleaning.
Cleaning Recommendations for Coil Element Cooktop (Coil Cooktop models only)
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.
Never immerse a surface element in water.
Care & Cleaning
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.
