HOT SURFACE

Coil Elements and

Burner Bowls

(on some models)

Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills.

Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.

Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are off.

To Remove:

1.Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.

2.Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

3.Lift out the burner bowl.

To Replace:

1.Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element receptacle.

2.Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push coil element terminal into the receptacle.

3.When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the receptacle.

Lift-up Cooktop

(on some models)

The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath. Be careful not to drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and the cooktop frame. For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.

To Lift:

1.Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into place.

To Replace:

1.Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support rods back to unlock them.

2.Slowly lower the cooktop into place.
