Care & Cleaning
Surface elements and drip bowls
Your cooking product includes a new generation of electric coil
element. This electric coil element design follows/supports a
change made to the UL Standard for Household Electric Ranges
related to cooktop surface temperature detection. If ordering
replacement electric coil elements, you must refer to the parts
catalog to obtain the correct part number for the electric coil
element that was designed to function with the specific model
that was purchased.
- Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence
of these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or compo-
nents underneath to damage.
- Never immerse a surface element in water.
- Be sure the range is cool before removing
surface elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal
ends when replacing surface elements after cleaning.
- Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Surface elements may be unplugged and removed to make
cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean them-
selves 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.
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 terminal plug. Do not remove
the hold-down clip (if equipped) from the drip bowl..
