Want to know how to remove a drop in stove/oven[elec.]

When one says “drop in” stove, I think of a range unit which is dropped in a hole in the countertop. I consider a built-in stove to be a “slide in” appliance. The drop in range is usually removed (after disconnecting the fuel/power source} by just lifting it up out of the counter. Sometimes there are clips underneath which must be removed. A slide in stove is usually held in position with 4 screws, accessed after the door is removed. After turning the power off at your breaker, slide the stove forward enough to get to the power cable. Disconnect the stove cable and finish removing the stove.

but it might also be held in place by 30 years of boiled over soup and stuff under the rim. Try sliding a thin knife or putty knife blade all the way around the rim of the stove. You might feel the clips or retaining screws but you will definitely loosen the normal crud that might be holding the insert into the cut out.

Get the appliance’s brand name and model number (see the following link) and then check the manufacturer’s web site or with them directly to see if that model’s installation instructions are available. You can then follow the instructions in reverse.
