LIFT–UP PORCELAIN COOKTOP
To lift: When cool, grasp the cooktop front
edge. Gently lift up until the two support rods
snap into place.
To lower: Hold the cooktop front edge and
carefully push back on each support rod to
release. Then lower the top into place.
COIL ELEMENTS
➢ When an element is on, it will cycle on
and off to maintain the heat setting.
➢ Coil elements are self-cleaning. Do not
immerse in water.
To remove: When cool, raise element. Care-
fully pull out and away from receptacle.
To replace: Insert element terminals into
receptacle. Guide the element into place.
Press down on the outer edge of element
until it sits level on drip bowl.
DRIP BOWLS
The drip bowls under each surface element
catch boilovers and must always be used.
Absence of drip bowls during cooking may
damage wiring.
To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire,
never line drip bowls with aluminum foil.
Drip bowls will discolor (blue/gold stains) or
craze over time if overheated. This discolora-
tion or crazing is permanent. This will not
affect cooking performance.
