■

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry 
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits 
when heated.

■

Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface 
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking 
area(s) is turned off.

Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner 
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also 
help catch spills.

Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the 
coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce 
excess heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more 
information, see the “General Cleaning” section.

Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, 
make sure they are cool and the control knobs are off.

1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then 

lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.

2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

3. Lift out the burner bowl.

1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element 

receptacle.

2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push 

coil element terminal into the receptacle.

3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it 

will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the 
receptacle.

The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath. 
Be careful not to drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the 
finish and the cooktop frame. For more information, see the 
“General Cleaning” section.

1. Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock 

into place.

1. Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support 

rods back to unlock them.

2. Slowly lower the cooktop into place.
