TO REPLACE ELEMENTS:
• Place chrome plated drip bowl into the opening in the cooktop so the receptacle
can be seen through side opening of the bowl.
• Insert terminals of elements through opening in drip bowl and into receptacle.
• Guide the element into the receptacle opening. Push element all the way forward
so it fits snugly in the receptacle. To make sure element sits flat, place palm of
hand flat on top of element and exert a slight downward force.
CHROME-PLATED DRIP BOWLS--Wipe up any spills as soon as possible to
prevent "baked-on" spatters. Clean in dishwasher, or in warm, soapy water, then
rinse and wipe dry.
"Baked-on" soil may be removed by rubbing lightly with a soap-filled scouring pad.
NOTE: Discoloration of drip bowls may occur from heat reflected from pans too
large for the element. This discoloration is permanent and cannot be removed. Be
sure pans used do not extend more than one inch over the edge of the element.
REMOVABLE GRILL AND GRIDDLE-- Empty grease from griddle if necessary.
Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly, or wash in dishwasher. Ditfi-
cult soils may be scoured with cleanser or soap-filled pad.
BLACK PORCELAIN FLAVOR GENERATOR INSERT, DRIP PAN AND
GRILL/GRIDDLE COVER--Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thor-
oughly, or wash in dishwasher. Difficult soils may be scoured with cleanser or
soap-filled pad.
PORCELAIN ENAMEL--OUTSIDE FINISH--The porcelain enamel used on
your cooktop is acid resistant, but not acid proof. Therefore, if acid foods such as
citrus juices, tomatoes, rhubarb or vinegar, as well as alcohol or milk, are spilled on
the porcelain enamel, they should be wiped up immediately and not permitted to
remain on the surface as they may affect the finish. Use a paper towel or dry cloth
on warm surfaces. After the porcelain enamel has cooled, you may wipe it with
warm, soapy cloth; then rinse and wipe dry.
BRUSHED CHROME OUTSIDE FINISH--Wash with warm, soapy water and
rinse. Dry with soft cloth. Never use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or com-
mercial oven cleaners which may damage finish.
Any mild glass cleaner will remove fingermarks or smears from the top.
Remember to clean with the grain to avoid possible scratches.
NOTE: Discoloration of the porcelain enamel or brushed chrome finish may occur
from heat reflected from pans too large for the burner. This discoloration is perma-
nent and cannot be removed. Be sure pans used do not extend more than one inch
over the edge of the burner.
