Care & Cleaning

Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

•Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

•Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

•Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Important note:

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

General cleaning

Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care & Cleaning section for more detailed information about cleaning specific parts of the range.

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Aluminum foil and utensils

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners — DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under ANY circumstances.

Replacing oven lights

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather- faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

Replacing the oven interior light bulb:

1.Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the appliance.

2.Remove interior oven light shield (See Fig. 1).

3.Replace bulb with a new T-4 type 40 Watt halogen appliance bulb. Do not allow your fingers to touch the halogen bulb when replacing. This will shorten the life of the new bulb. Use a paper towel to cover the new bulb when installing.

4.Replace glass interior oven light shield.

5.Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).

6.Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
