Using this Technika oven element is easy. First, make sure your oven is unplugged or turned off at the circuit breaker to avoid any electrical hazards. Then, remove the old element carefully by disconnecting the wires and taking out the mounting screws. Place the new 1300 - watt element in the same position as the old one, align the mounting holes, and secure it with the screws. Reconnect the wires properly. When using the oven, don't overload it to prevent overheating of the element. Also, keep the oven clean. For maintenance, you can periodically check the element for any signs of damage, like cracks or breaks. If you notice any issues, stop using the oven and replace the element. And always remember, if you're not sure about the installation or maintenance, it's best to consult a professional.
