CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Oven Light Replacement (on some models)

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.

To remove:

1. Hold a hand under the

 

cover so it doesn’t fall

 

when released. With

 

fingers of the same

 

hand, firmly push back

 

the wire cover holder.

 

Lift off the cover.

Wire cover holder

DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE COVER.

2.Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth. Replace bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

1.Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place. When in place, the wire holds the cover firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in the center of the cover.

2.Connect electrical power to the range.

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it

straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to remove, place

a towel or dishcloth between

the knob and control panel and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable material in the drawer.

Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened.

The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.

To remove the storage drawer:

1.Pull the drawer straight out until it stops.

2.Tilt the front of the drawer up and free of the range.

To replace the storage drawer:

1.Set the stops on the back of the drawer over the stops in the range.

2.Slide the drawer evenly and straight back, so that the rails in the range are engaged.
