4.1.2 Removing the Maintop
Caution
Fragile Component
The porcelain enamel maintop is fragile. To prevent damage such as
chipping:
■ Carefully remove the maintop
■ Do not over torque the screw holding the burner pedestal to the
maintop when re-installing the maintop.
1. First, remove and retain the two T-20 screws from the inner,
frontward-facing left and right side corners of the rangetop chassis
(see Figure 15).

2. Carefully place a tool such as a hook or non-straight Allen wrench
in a circular receptacle on the maintop (not in a receptacle for the
jet holder or the ignition wire), and pry up the maintop enough until
you can grasp it with your hand (see Figure 16).
3. Push each ignition wire downward through its respective
receptacle, as you carefully lift out the maintop, in a frontward
direction.
