Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Read the following recommendations:

1.Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.

2.Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.

3.Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.

Changing Oven Light

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven light on during the self-cleaning cycle. High temperature will reduce lamp life.

The interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened.

The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located on the control panel.

On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.

THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.

To replace the light bulb:

CAUTION: BE SURE OVEN IS COOL

1. Turn the power off at the main source.

2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.

4.For self-cleaning oven, press wire holder to one side to release glass shield, change bulb and be sure to replace glass shield.
