Surface Element Replacement 1. Before removing the element be sure to note the locations of the element mounting clips in the support channel slot. The replacement element must be installed in the same position. 2. Carefully remove the wires from the element. Take note of the terminal identification on the element terminal block for each wire connection. 3. Before the element can be removed from the support channel the locking tab on the mounting clip must be closed by squeezing shut with a pair of pliers. After the repair is complete the tab can be reopened by using an awl or similar instrument. 4. Remove the mounting screw that secures the element support channel to the cooktop. 5. Carefully pull the support channel away from the cooktop far enough to disengage the element mounting clips from the channel. Slide the element out from between the support channel and the cooktop. Reinstall or replace the element by reversing steps 1-5. The element mounting clips must be removed from the original element and mounted to the replacement. The screw holes on the element body are numbered to identify the clip mounting locations. Page 30 Clip
