Surface Cooking

Coil Element Surface

Notes:

•Clean cooktop after each use.

•Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled as these spills may discolor or etch the porcelain.

To protect drip bowl finish:

•To lessen discoloration and crazing, avoid using high heat for long periods.

•Do not use oversized cookware. Pans should not extend more than 1-2 inches beyond the element.

•When home canning or cooking with big pots, use the Canning Element (Model CE1). Contact your Maytag dealer for details or call 1-877-232-6771 USA or 1-800-688-8408 Canada to order.

•Clean frequently. (See page 17.)

Coil Elements

•When an element is on, it will cycle on and off to maintain the heat setting.

•Coil elements are self-cleaning. Do not immerse in water.

To remove: When cool, raise ele- ment. Carefully pull out and away from receptacle.

To replace: Insert element ter- minals into receptacle. Guide the element into place. Press down on the outer edge of element until it sits level on drip bowl.

TERMINALS

Drip Bowls

The drip bowls under each surface element catch boilovers and must always be used. Absence of drip bowls during cooking may damage wiring.

To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire, never line drip bowls with aluminum foil.

Drip bowls will discolor (blue/gold stains) or craze over time if overheated. This discoloration or crazing is permanent. This will not affect cooking performance.
