cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping
the warm cooktop.

against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will
be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the
residue.

proceeding to Step 2.

or burned-on stains.

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.
