TECH TIPS

RAISING THE MAINTOP OFF THE COUNTER

1. Remove all elements and reflector bowls.

2. Place your hands

 

under the left and right

rear  element  opening  areas  and  lift  the
maintop until the round ball tab seats in the
hinge  cover  hole.  You  will  hear  a  “click”
when the ball is engaged. This will allow the
maintop  to  be  free  of  the  countertop  for
cleaning or servicing.

3. Rotate the support rod against the front of

the burner box.

4. To lower the maintop:

a) Lift cooktop slightly to disengage sup-

port  rod,  then  lower  the  front  to
countertop level.

b) Reach into left and right rear element

opening areas and press the round ball
tab to disengage it in its hole. The back
of the maintop will lower itself back to
countertop level.

Press Round
