Care & Cleaning
Cleaning drip bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water. 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, 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 cookware sliding off the element.
Aluminum Foil and Utensils
Important: Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot
cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface
elements under any circumstances.
Important: Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when
aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum
pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only
will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to or
permanently damage the coil or cooktop.
Cleaning under cooktop (some models)
To raise the cooktop for cleaning (some models)
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 range cooktop,
grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch
fingers. Do not drop or bend the range cooktop when raising or
lowering. This could damage the cooktop surface.
