Safety

Operating Instructions

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door—will stay new-looking for years.

Let the oven cool before cleaning.

We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the oven.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven overnight.

The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

■Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

■Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as

a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

■Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Cleaning

Removable Warming/Lower Oven Drawer Pan (on some models)

Tips Care and

NOTE: For models with an electric warming drawer or lower oven drawer, before performing any adjustments, cleaning or service, disconnect the range electrical power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. Make sure the drawer heating element is cool.

NOTE: Allow drawer to cool before removing pan.

NOTE: wipe spills promptly after each use.

■The drawer has a removable pan for easy cleaning. Clean with hot, soapy water and a sponge or dish towel. Dry with a clean cloth. Replace the pan in the lower oven drawer.

■Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven drawer pan in the upper oven (on some models).

Radiant glass models: Oven Vent on Radiant Glass or Coil Cooktops

Consumer Support Troubleshooting

Coil cooktop models:

On glass cooktop models, the oven vent is located behind the right-rear surface unit.

On coil cooktop models, the oven is vented through an opening under the right-rear surface unit.

This area could become hot during oven use.

It is normal for steam to come out of the vent, and moisture may collect underneath it when the oven is in use.

The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent.
