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. CARE AND CLEANING Aluminum Foil and Utensils WARNING • Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. • Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. IMPORTANT • Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under any circumstances. • Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to or permanently damage the coil or cooktop. 23

CARE AND CLEANING

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:

Slide the terminal end on the element through the

opening in the drip bowl.

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.

After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up

the terminal end with the terminal plug as shown.

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.

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

•

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials

such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap

heat, causing a fire hazard.

•

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line

the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners

may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

•

Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop

can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum

cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the

surface elements under any circumstances.

•

Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is

much lower than that of other metals. Care must be

taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the

cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry

when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be

damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to or perma-

nently damage the coil or cooktop.
