not to bend terminal ends
when replacing elements

the drip bowl.
2. Gently slide the surface element out of the terminal plug.
3. Lift the drip bowl up and out.
To Replace
1. Line up the opening of the drip bowl with the terminal plug.
2. Hold the surface element aslevel as possible and slide the terminal end th rough the opening
and into the terminal plug.

To Raise the Top for Cleaning

only high enough to allow the support rod to fit into place, then gently lower the cooktop onto the raised rod.
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.
3. Gently lower the cooktop into the frame. Ifyour model has asupport rod, lower the support rod, then gently lower the cooktop

_When lowering the lift-up cooktop, grasp the sideswith fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. DO NOT
drop or bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.
