Generai Care & Cleaning (cont’d)
Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
Surface elements can be
unplugged
and removed to make cleaning the drip pans easier.
The
surface elements clean
themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be
cleaned with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used.

To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
1
. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end.
Lift the surface
element and 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.
To Clean Drip Bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm.
Hard to remove, 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
and 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 and polish dry with a soft
cloth.
To Replace Drip Bowls and 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, and 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 and drip bowl together as level as possible and
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.
To Raise the Top for Cleaning
1.
Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in a
raised position. Only lift the top far enough to allow
the
support rods to
snap into place.
2.
Clean underneath using a clean cloth and 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
frame.
