Never immerse the coil elements in water.

Never leave covers on the coil elements as they could be permanently damaged if turned on by accident.

To Remove and Replace Surface Elements and Drip Bowls (some models)

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

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

To Remove

1.Lift up edge of surface element across from terminal end just enough to clear the edge of the drip bowl.

2.Gently slide the surface element out of the terminal plug.

3.Lift the drip bowl up and out.

To Replace

1.Line up the opening of the drip bowl with the terminal plug.

2.Hold the surface element as level as possible and slide the terminal end through the opening and into the terminal plug.

3.Be 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. Some models may have a lift-up rod to support the top in its raised position. Lift the top only high enough to allow the support rod to fit into place, then gently lower the cooktop onto the raised rod.

2.Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.

3.Gently lower the cooktop into the frame. If your model has a support rod, lower the support rod, then gently lower the cooktop into the frame.

When lowering the lift-up cooktop, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.
