Abstract
A hold down or retaining clip is provided for removably securing a supporting spider for a heating element to a top wall of an appliance such as an electric range. Generally in such appliance there is a burner bowl in which the spider and heating element are supported, and the clip, which is secured to the top wall, has upwardly extending arms which project through the bowl to resiliently engage the spider to secure the spider to the top wall. The clip also indirectly secures the burner bowl to the top wall in that the spider rests on top of the burner bowl when installed, which in turn rests directly on top of the top wall of the appliance.
