Care & Cleaning

Surface elements and drip bowls

Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The surface elements may still be hot and burns may occur if touched before they have cooled sufficiently.

Protective llners _ Do 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.

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.

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 (See Fig. 1).

Allow element support to rest on drip pan inside rim.

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 no-scratch scrubbing pad 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 replace drip bowls and surface elements:

1.Slide the terminal end on the surface element through the opening in the drip bowl (Refer to Fig. 1).

2.Align the surface element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl.

3.After the surface element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with the terminal plug as shown (Fig. 1).

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 cookware sliding off the element.

important notes:

"Be sure the range is cool before removing surface

elements or drip bowls.

-Never immerse a surface element in water.

"Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

"Be careful not to bend terminal ends when replacing surface elements after cleaning.
