Surface

elements

and drip bowls

Hake 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.

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.

To remove the surface elements and drip bowls:

Liftthe edge ofthe drip bowl across from theterminal end.

Lift the surface element and drip bowl together j ust

enough to clear the cooktop.

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.

align the element support opposite the terminal end with

the slot in the hold down clip, and snap into place.

terminal end with the terminal plug as shown.

Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level

as possible and firmly push the terminal end into the

terminal

is seated

properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element

is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the

element.

Protective

not use aluminum foil to line

surface drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use

aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.

Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or fire.

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 i 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.
