COIL ELEMENT COOKTOP
5
COIL SURFACE ELEMENTS
S
Coil surface elements are self-cleaning.
S
Do not immerse elements in water.
S
When an element is turned on, it will cycle on and off to
maintain the heat setting.
S
To prevent damage to the cooktop, NEVER operate
surface element without a pan in place and NEVER allow
a pan to boil dry.
To
remove:
When
cool,
raise
element
and carefully pull out
and away from the
receptacle.
To replace:
Insert the terminals on the element into the
receptacle. Gently lift up on outer edge of element (opposite
terminal-side of element) while inserting terminals into
receptacle. Gently press down on outer edge of element
until element sits level on drip bowl.
Be sure drip bowls are properly installed. Notch on trim ring
should be centered over the screw securing the receptacle
to the maintop. If trim ring is not installed properly and rests
on this screw, the trim ring and drip bowl will “rock”.
DRIP BOWLS
S
Be sure drip bowls, located under each element, are in
place.
S
Absence of these bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or component parts underneath the cooktop to
damage.
S
To prevent risk of electric shock or fire, do not line drip
bowls with aluminum foil.
Your cooktop will be equipped with either chrome plated or
porcelain coated steel drip bowls.
Chrome drip bowls will turn blue or gold over time or if
overheated. This type of discoloration is permanent and will
not affect cooking performance.
To protect the chrome or porcelain finish, avoid using high
settings for long periods of time. Reduce to a lower setting
once food begins cooking. Do not use oversized cookware.
Pan should not extend more than 2 inches from the element.
COOKTOP
The coil element cooktop does not lift up.
To prevent staining or discoloration, clean cooktop after
each use. Wipe acid or sugar stains as soon as the cooktop
has cooled as these stains may discolor or etch the
porcelain.
