Oven Light Bulb (on some models)

The light bulb is located in the upper left corner (may vary) of the oven. Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the electrical outlet. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. Replace the bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb will break.

Control Panel and Knobs

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.
