CARING FOR YOUR RANGE

COIL ELEMENTS AND REFLECTOR BOWLS (CONT.)

NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the cookware on the coil elements. They also help catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.

If a reflector bowl changes color, some of your cookware may not be flat enough, or some may be

too large for the coil element. In either case, some of the heat that’s meant to go into or around cook- ware goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This extra heat can cause it to change color.

LIFT-UP COOKTOP (MODEL RF385PXE)

NOTE: Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could result to the porcelain and the cooktop frame.

1.Lift the front of the cooktop at both front corners until the support rods lock into place.

2.Wipe the surface under the cooktop with warm, soapy water and a sponge. Use a soapy steel- wool pad on heavily soiled areas.

3.To lower the cooktop, lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support rods back to unlock them. Lower the cooktop into place.
