Electric Range & Cooktop - Cleaning Coil Surface Elements

Electric coil heating elements do not generally require manual cleaning. Soil typically burns off during normal usage. Any excessive grease or oil should be wiped from the surface element after it has cooled, and prior to using it again.

Cleaning the Coil Surface Elements on an Electric Range or Cooktop

The following tips and instructions will enable you to clean the coil surface burners on your range or cooktop, should the need arise.

• Set the burner on HIGH.
• Allow the soil to burn off for approximately one minute.
• Turn the burner OFF.

Tips

• Let the burner cool completely before handling.
• Avoid spilling any cleaning materials on the coils. Should this occur, wipe off any cleaning products with a damp paper towel before heating the coil.
• Do not clean plug-in surface elements in the self-cleaning oven or the dishwasher.
• Do not immerse any electric coil surface element in water.
• Discoloration of coil supports and/or the Sensi-Temp cap/medallion can occur as a result of oxidation. This is normal.
  • Oxidation can be removed by cleaning with Cerama Bryte Stainless Steel Brightener, part number WB02T10111.
  • There is no aluminum in the Sensi-Temp cap/medallion.
