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.
Never immerse a surface element in water.
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.
General Care & Cleaning (cont’d)
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.
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.
The oven light automatically turns ON when the door is
opened. The oven light may also be manually operated by
pressing the oven light switch located on top of the control
panel. The oven light bulb 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.
To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug
the range.
2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass
shield.
Changing the Oven Light (some models)
3. Replace bulb with a new 40
watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over
bulb and snap wire holder
into place.
5. Turn power back on again
at the main source (or plug
the range back in).
6. The clock will then need to
be reset. To reset, see
Setting the Clock and
Minute Timer in this Use
& Care Manual.
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.
