Removing the Surface Elements & Drip Bowls
1.Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface element & 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.
Cleaning the Drip Bowls
Wash in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse & dry while still warm. Hard to remove or 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 & 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 & polish dry with a soft cloth.
Replacing Drip Bowls & 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 & 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 & drip bowl together as level as possible & 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.

2.Clean underneath using a clean cloth & 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
