Coil elements and drip bowls
Your cooking product includes a new generation
of electric coil element. This electric coil element
design follows/supports a change made to the UL
Standard for Household Electric Ranges related to
cooktop surface temperature detection. If ordering
replacement electric coil elements, you must
refer to the parts catalog to obtain the correct
part number for the electric coil element that was
designed to function with the specific model that
was purchased.
CAUTION
• Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence
of these bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
• Never immerse a surface element in water.
• Be sure the range is cool before removing
surface elements or drip bowls. Be careful not
to bend terminal ends when replacing surface
elements after cleaning.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil
to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans.
Improper installation of these liners may result
in risk of electric shock or fire..

Surface elements may be unplugged and removed
to make cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface
elements clean themselves when they are turned
on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn o.
Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned
with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn o
the next time the element is used.
To remove the surface elements and drip bowls:
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the
terminal end. Lift the surface element and drip
bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface
element, gently pull the terminal end out from
terminal plug. Do not remove the hold-down
clip (if equipped) from the drip bowl.
