7. Remove (12) 1/4-in. chassis screws (A) that hold the
glass and metal subplate to the cooktop box (3
screws from each side).
8. Raise the front of the glass and metal subplate
assembly slightly and use pliers to bend 2 tabs (B)
approximately 45 degrees outward.
9. Carefully raise the glass and metal subplate assem-
bly from the cooktop box. Do not force it. Wires may
be caught on the flanges of the cooktop box.
10. Insert the 2 tabs (B), on the front of the metal
subplate, into the 2 slots (C) on the top front flange
of the cooktop box.
11. Tilt the glass and metal subplate up and temporarily
install the prop rod near the center as shown.
Note: If you are replacing only 1 defective heater using
Heater Replacement Method 1, skip to that section to
continue. Otherwise, go on to step 12.
12. Remove all 7 knobs from the cooktop.
Note: Remove any knob clips that remain on the control
shafts and reinsert clips inside knob stems.
13. Unplug the 4 connectors below the controls (2 red
and 2 white connectors).
14. Push the heater side of the connectors through the
sidewall slot openings (2 red connectors go to the
right and 2 white connectors to the left).
15. Have a 1/4-in. nut driver ready, then tilt the glass and
metal subplate assembly up to a fully vertical posi-
tion and remove 2 screws from the bottom of the
center control panel plate.
Caution: Save and replace with the exact screws to
prevent glass breakage (#8-18 x 1/4-in.).
16. Return the glass and metal subplate back to the
tilted position supported by the prop rod, then re-
move the top screw from the center control panel
plate.
17. Pull the control panel plate away from the glass until
all 7 shafts pull out of the rubber grommets. Let the
control panel rest on the top of the burner box
chassis.
Note: If you are replacing a broken glass cooktop, skip
to Broken Glass Replacement section.
• If you are replacing a defective heater, skip to the
Heater Replacement Method 2 section.
