Care&Cleaning
Surface Elements and Drip Bowls- 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 offthe next time the element is used.
Be sure the range is cool
before removing elements or drip bowls.
Be careful not to bend terminal ends
when replacing elements after 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.
Never immerse a surface element in water.
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 the terminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip
from the drip bowl.
To Clean Drip Bowls
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 ofwater). 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.
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 isseated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element
is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.
To Raise the Top for Cleaning
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.
Oven
Holder
Changing the Oven Light (some models)
On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened. Some models have a
switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The oven light is located at the rear of the oven and
is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven
is in use.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven
light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
To replace the oven light:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.
Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.
Replace bulb with a new40 watt appliance bulb.
Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.
Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and Minute Timer in this Use
& Care Manual.
