I looked for information, but can't find an answer. Does the glass top raise so I can clean under the heating elements? We bought sometime 10-12 years ago. I cleaned the top and sides today and wondered if the top opens.
Thanks!

IOW, don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

I got into cleaning mode today, and cleaned the top and sides. Since I was so moved, was curious if the under side needed attention after all these years

(113,093 posts)There might be a little dust in there, dust gets everywhere and generally doesn't cause a problem. There really won't be anything much to clean, so just clean what you can get to.
Trying to take it apart without a damned good reason (like it doesn't work and won't get any worse if you drop the top and destroy the innards completely) seems like a losing game. If you're working off nervous energy through cleaning, consider moving it out from the wall and cleaning under it, that's where you'll find the lost paring knives and science projects.

(18,754 posts)When I looked for it, I noticed that it was pretty bad under the stove, so I moved it and vacuumed, then moved it some more and scrubbed down the cupboard and then the stove.
You must be psychic. It is nervous energy and that kind of work sure helps
