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 ob- ject.

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

CAUTION

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 a self-cleaning cycle. High temperature will reduce lamp life.

On some models an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven is opened. The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located on the Electronic Oven control. The oven light bulb is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder. THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST ALWAYS BE IN PLACE WHEN THE OVEN IS IN USE.

CAUTION

BE SURE OVEN IS COOL

To Replace the Light Bulb:

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.
