range top when raising or lowering.
This could damage the surface.
Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans
easier. Thesurfaceelements clean themselveswhen they areturned 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 isused.
Never immerse a surface element in water.
To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
1. Lift up edge of surface element acrossfrom terminal end. Lift just enough to clear
edge of the drip bowl.
2. Gently slide the surface element out of the terminal plug.
3. Lift the drip bowl up and out.
To Clean Drip Bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or inthe dishwasher. Rinseand 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 1gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be usedafter soaking.
DO NOT useabrasive cleaners or steelwool, asthey 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 theelement supportto reston the tim insidethe drip bowl. Ifyour drip bowl
is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite the
terminal end with the slot in the hold clown clip, and snap into place.
3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with
the terminal plug asshown.
4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together aslevel aspossible 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.
