Using this oven element is easy. First, make sure your oven is unplugged or the power is turned off. Then, carefully remove the old element and replace it with this 2400 - watt one, aligning it with the mounting holes. Once installed, plug the oven back in or turn the power on. For safety, always wear gloves when handling the element. Don't use it if it's visibly damaged. To maintain it, keep the oven clean and avoid using abrasive cleaners on the element. Regularly check the connections to make sure they're secure. This will help the element last longer and work efficiently.
