Raising the Cook top

Turn off all stove burner controls and make sure the stove's surface is cool. Remove burner grates, then raise the hinged cook top and prop it open.
Most stoves have a metal rod for this purpose under the cook top. Find the stove air shutter for the burner that needs adjustment, usually located near the front of the stove, then loosen the Shutter setscrew.
In home stoves heating elements are usually formed from a wire made of an alloy of nickel and chromium called stove nichrome wire. It have good heating characteristics and it's durable. Elements may be classified as stove open elements if the coil of nichrome wire is suspended m the air by a porcelain insulator, or classified as enclosed type elements when the wire is enclosed within a metal sheath with an in dating material such as manganese powder filling the void. In the enclosed element the entire sheath may glow red in some applications Bach as the surface unit on an electric stove, but the nichrome coil itself is not visible. The size, the shape, and the resistance of these cements varies, depending upon the applications and the stove temperature in which it operates. The volt-ohm meter should always indicate continuity, and there should never be a ground caused by the element reaching either the enclosing sheath or, in the case of an open type 6ement, a metal housing of any sort. Various styles and applications of these heating elements will be discussed with the stove on which they are used.


The Stove Thermostat

This is a switch which is either opened or closed by the stove temperature change. The most common thermostat found in home a stoves is the type known as a bimetal thermostat, so-called because of the way in which the mechanical action to open and close switch contacts is derived. In a bimetal thermostat, two dissimilar metals are bonded together. As they are heated or cooled, the differences in their rate of expansion cause a bending or warping action of the piece of metal. This mechanical action is used to operate switch contacts.
