Roper 4347928 (333240-1) manual Removing a Module #D, Cleaning the Modules

Since solid elements transfer heat so evenly and well, they do not need to get “red hot” to cook properly.

Each element has a built-in “temperature sensor” to protect the element and your pan from excessive

(damaging) heat. If the element is left turned on without a pan, or if a pan boils dry, the sensor will detect the excess heat build-up and reduce power to

the element. If your cookware has become warped

from overheating in the past and there is space bet- ween the element and some parts of the pan bottom,

this sensor may detect excessive temperatures and

automatically turn the element down.

REMOVING A MODULE #D

To remove a module:

1.First, be sure the controls are OFF and the unit is cool.

2.Using the finger grip at the side of the module, raise the module enough so you can grasp it firm- IY.

3.Raise the module just enough to clear the cooktop.

4.Pull the module away from the receptacle.

CLEANING THE MODULES

Open Coil Elements

The open coil elements can be unplugged and the reflector bowls removed for cleaning.

Be sure the cooktop unit control knobs are turned off and elements are cool before you remove or replace a cooktop element.

To remove:

1.Grasp element, tilt it upward slightly to clear the reflector bowl, then pull away from the recep- tacle. The element will not sit level when replaced if it is forced too far upward when removed.

2.Lift out the reflector bowl.

ELEMENT

Do not put the element into water. It cleans itself when heated during normal use. To remove any charred soil, clean with a dry, stiff brush when elements have cool- ed. Never use steel wool or metal scouring pads because they may damage the outer casing of the ele- ment.

Wash the reflector bowls with soap and water after each spillover. Soak stubborn stains with an ammonia soaked paper towel, then rub gently with a non-metal scouring pad. If spills go below the reflector bowls, you can clean inside the module with a well wrung out soapy cloth.

To replace:

1.Replace the reflector bowl. Be sure the receptacle is showing in the bowl opening.

2.Slide the plug of the element firmly into the recep- tacle and lower the element into place.

Important: Never operate an open coil element without the reflector bowl in place. This can cause scorching of the module, burning of wiring insulation and loss of energy.

Solid Elements e

Solid elements are easy to clean because the element is raised above the cooktop and sealed to it. Food spills can not flow under the pan or the element. Spills stay on the cooktop where they cool and are easy to wipe up.

Be sure the controls are off and the elements are cool before cleaning. Since the elements cool slowly and do not glow red as open coil elements do when they are hot, you should be careful not to get burned when cleaning.

The trim rings around the elements are stainless steel and may be cleaned with a scouring pad or a stainless steel cleaner.

When cleaning solid elements:

0use the mildest cleaning procedure that will do the job

0rub in the direction of the circular ridges

0rinse completely and wipe dry

0turn elements on to dry completely and prevent rust

The solid elements can be cleaned with scouring powder or a scouring pad the same as your cast iron skillet. The red dot in the center of each element can be removed by scouring. The dot is for factory identifica- tion only and removing this dot will not affect use or durability of the element.
