General 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 off the
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.

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 of water). 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 is seated 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.
Cleaning the Oven Bottom
The bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front
of the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for
cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from
the resting position.
