INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR RADIANT HEAT ELEMENTS
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect electrical power before servicing.
Please note: From the supplier, “Cracks in the ring are cosmetic and acceptable. The ring is made from compressed
material bound with bers, so it will perform the same.”
The instructions below are general instructions for installation of a radiant heat element. Your particular element and range
may vary in how to install. It is always best to refer to the owners guide of your range.
The tools needed for this repair are needle nose pliers and 1/4” nut driver.
1. Disconnect the range from the power source.
2. Open range door and remove screws located underneath the top panel of the range.
3. Once screws are removed, lift up the cooktop panel and brace it with a support so it doesn’t fall.
4. Locate the old radiant heat element you are replacing. The element is usually held by clips, using the needle nose
pliers, pull out the clips. Then gently remove the radiant heat element.
5. Unclip the hot cooktop indicator light from the panel allowing easy access to the element wiring.
6. Take note of the order of which wire is connected to which terminal on the element to make reinstallation process
easier. Using needle nose pliers, detach the wires connected to the radiant heat element.
7. Take the new radiant heat element, attach the wires to their respective terminals on the new element using the needle
nose pliers.
8. Make sure to plug back in the hot cooktop indicator light to the panel.
9. Line up the surface element to the clip holes and attach each clip using the needle nose pliers.
10. Once element is secured with the clips, remove the support holding the cooktop panel and gently lower the panel
back on the frame of the range.
