3.2 Installation Steps

1. Disconnect Power: Ensure the cooker is completely disconnected from the electrical supply.

3. Remove Old Element: Carefully unscrew the mounting screws holding the old grill element in place. Gently pull the element forward a few inches to expose the electrical terminals.
4. Disconnect Wiring: Note the position of the wires connected to the old element's terminals. It is recommended to take a photograph for reference. Disconnect the wires, usually by pulling them off or unscrewing them.
5. Remove Old Element Completely: Once wires are disconnected, fully remove the old grill element from the oven cavity.

9. Reassemble: Reattach any panels or racks that were removed to access the element.
10. Test: Reconnect the cooker to the main power supply. Turn on the grill function and observe if the element heats up correctly.

4. Operating Instructions

Once correctly installed, the grill resistance operates as an integral part of your cooker's grilling function. Refer to your specific cooker's user manual for detailed instructions on how to activate and control the grill feature, including temperature settings and cooking times.

• Ensure the oven door is closed or partially open as per your cooker's design for grilling.
• Select the grill function on your cooker's control panel.
• Allow the element to preheat to the desired temperature before placing food inside.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of your grill resistance and ensure optimal performance.

• Cleaning: After use, allow the element to cool completely. Wipe away any food splatters or grease with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the element's surface.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the element for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks, bulges, or discoloration. If any damage is observed, the element should be replaced.
• Electrical Connections: Ensure that the electrical connections remain tight and free from corrosion.

6. Troubleshooting

If your grill is not functioning correctly after installing the new resistance, consider the following:

• Grill Not Heating:
  • Check if the cooker is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
  • Verify that the electrical connections to the grill element are secure.
  • Ensure the grill function is correctly selected on the cooker's control panel.
  • If possible, use a multimeter to check for continuity across the element's terminals (only if you are qualified and have disconnected power).
• Uneven Heating:
  • Ensure the element is fully seated and secured in its mounting brackets.
  • Check for any obstructions within the oven cavity.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified appliance technician.
