lr_ 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.
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.
lri3r_ri'_l_ Never immerse a surface element in water.
To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
1. Liftthe edge ofthe drip bowl acrossfrom theterminal 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, soapywater or in the dishwasher. Rinseand dry while stillwarm.
Hard to remove, burned on soilcan be removed by soakingthe drip bowlsfor
about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanseror a solution of ammonia
and water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubbermay be
used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasivecleaners or steelwool, as they will
scratch the surface. Always rinsewith 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
its raised position. Only lift the top high 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 range top down into the range
frame.
