Surface elements and drip bowls
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 terminal plug.
DO NOT remove hold down clip (if equipped) from
the drip bowl.
Surface elements may 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.
CAUTION
• Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of
these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
• Never immerse a surface element in water.
• Be sure the range is cool before removing surface
elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend
terminal ends when replacing surface elements after
cleaning.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface drip bowls, or reector pans. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or re.
Cleaning 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, they will scratch
the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft cloth.
To raise the cooktop for cleaning
1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front (See Fig. 2). 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.
To replace drip bowls and surface elements
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the
opening in the drip bowl (See Fig. 1).
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 rmly 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.
CAUTION

• When lowering the lift-up range cooktop, grasp the
sides with nger-tips only. Be careful not to pinch
ngers. DO NOT drop or bend the range cooktop
when raising or lowering. This could damage the
cooktop surface.
