Electric Range - Lift-Up Cooktop

Many 1992 and later Electric Ranges with electric coil burners have a lift-up, upswept porcelain cooktop. These easy to clean cooktops have a torsion bar and are supported by twin support rods that make it easy to lift with one finger. The cooktop locks into place. A lift-up cooktop saves time and effort in cleaning spills that pass below the burners.

Using a Lift-Up Cooktop on an Electric Coil Range

• With the top up, the porcelain subtop is accessible for cleaning. There are no wires or pipes to clean around.
• The surface burner elements do not need to be removed; however, you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier. There are two side supports that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up.
• After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
• To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently lower the cooktop until it rests in place.

Slide-In Ranges and Drop-In Ranges have a different support system, but will have the smooth porcelain surface underneath the cooktop for easy cleaning.
