the element more than I".
Lifting the element
more than 1" can damage the
receptacle,
causing the element
not to lie flat when it is plugged

TO CLEAN
THE
DRIP
BOWL
For brown food stains - use
dishwashing
detergent,
warm water,
plastic scouring
pads, mild abrasive
cleaners, soap-filled
scouring
pads or
ammonia. Clean drip bowls after each
use Rinse and dry well. Foods that
are not removed can cause
permanent
stains that cannot be
removed, For heavily soiled bowls,
place an ammonia-soaked
paper
towel over the bowl to loosen the soil,
then gently scrub the bow! with a
plastic scouring
pad.
For blue-gold
heat stains
- use a
metal polish, These stains are caused
by overheating,
and are usually
permanent.
To help minimize this
effect, avoid excessive
use of high
heat settings and use flat bottom
pans that do not extend more than 1"
from the edge of the cooking
element.
