MEH14 ELECTRIC MEDIUM DUTY
COUNTER HOTPLATE
SERVICE
WARNING: THE HOTPLATE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR
SERVICING THE HOTPLATE.
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT
SWITCH TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
SERVICE.
REPLACING PILOT "ON" LIGHT OR INFINITE (CONTROL) SWITCH
1. Remove both control knobs by grasping outer edge and pulling straight out, without twisting or turning.
2. Remove two screws at top of front panel. Pull the top edge to open.
3. Disconnect leads to pilot or infinite switch and remove the damaged component. Mark disconnected leads
to identify them.
4. Mount the new infinite switch with fasteners provided. The new pilot light is snapped into place from the front
of the panel.
5. Connect leads to their corresponding terminals on the new component. Check the completed circuit against
the circuit diagram on back of the hotplate.
7. Reverse steps 1 and 2 to close front panel.
REPLACING HEATING ELEMENT
1. Remove the heating element support projection from the notch in the element ring (located under the element
and secured to the element). Then push the element assembly toward the notch in the drip pan to dislodge
the spring clip from the element ring.
2. Maneuver the element and support assembly so that it can be pulled out of the drip pan along with its
connecting wires.
3. Lift out the drip pan.
4. Remove the element ring by grasping it with both hands and pulling straight up so that it snaps out of the top
panel opening.
5. Loosen the two screws at the end of the heating element and located on the side of the insulator block. Slide
the insulator block to expose the terminals
6. Disconnect the leads from the damaged element and reconnect them to the new element.
7. Slide the insulator block over the element terminals so that the threaded end of the screws are guided to slots
on the central web of the insulator block. Tighten screws securely to prevent the insulator block from sliding.
8. Reverse Steps 1-4 to reassemble, and put the hot plate back into operation.
