- 1). Turn off all the burners on the stove. Wait for them to cool completely.
- 2). Look for the socket that the electric burner plugs into. Grip the outer edge of the burner coil as far from the socket as possible.
- 3). Lift the coil up an inch above the edge of the drip pan. Pull gently away from the socket. Rock the coil gently back and forth until it releases.
- 4). Remove the tripod stand below the burner, if there is one present. Grip the edge of the drip pan farthest from the socket to lift it out for cleaning.
