Care and Cleaning

Surface elements and drip bowls

Your cooking product includes a new generation of electric coil

element. This electric coil element design follows/supports a

change made to the UL Standard for Household Electric Ranges

related to cooktop surface temperature detection. If ordering

replacement electric coil elements, you must refer to the parts

catalog to obtain the correct part number for the electric coil

element that was designed to function with the specific model

that was purchased.

Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of

these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components

underneath to damage.

Never immerse a surface element in water.

Be sure the range is cool before removing

surface elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal

ends when replacing surface elements after cleaning.

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to

line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of

these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.Surface

elements may 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 terminal plug. Do not remove

the hold-down clip (if equipped) from the drip bowl.

Cleaning drip bowls

Wash in hot, soapy water. 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, 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 cookware sliding off the element.
