I am remodeling my kitchen & need to remove the drop in range & put in
a new tile back splash before I install the replacement range. Can
this be done by a novice or do I need an expert?

Electric or gas? Either way, really not hard to do. it should lift out once
disconnected. Be sure there is enough clearance for the tile or it will not
go back in.

Well, there are commonly a couple of fasteners on the
underside of cooktop.

go back in.

The OP mentioned a new replacement range. I hope he's checked
that the countertop cut-out is compatible. These are not well
standardized between manufacturers or even models.
