Care and Cleaning

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.

Finishes

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acid foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

Lamp Replacement

(Model JAS03M)

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven lamp bulb, disconnect the electric power for your range

at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the bulb cool completely before removing or replacing it.

●Replace bulb with 40-watt home appliance bulb.

●Connect electric power to range.

Plug-In Surface Units

Clean the area under the drip pans ofien. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire. To make cleaning easier, plug-in units are removable.

Caution: Be sure all controls are

turned to OFF and surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.

After removing the plug-in units, remove the drip pans under the units and clean them according to directions in the Cleaning Guide on page 19. Wipe around the edges of the surface unit openings. Clean the area below the units. Rinse all washed areas with a damp cloth or sponge.

Plug-in units can be removed.

&!!!!!!*

Lift a plug-in unit about 1“ above the drip pan—just enough to grasp it—and you can pull it out.

Do not lift a plug-in unit more than 1!’ If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the plug-in unit more than 1“ above the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.

Receptacle

Drip Pan/Ring

To replace a plug-in unit:

●First place the drip pan into the surface unit cavity found on top of the cooktop so the unit receptacle can be seen through the opening in the pan.

●Insert the terminals of the plug-in unit through the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

●Guide the surface unit into place so it fits evenly into the drip pan.

CAUTION

. Do not attempt to clean plug-in surface units in an automatic dishwasher.

●Do not immerse plug-in surface units in liquids of any kind.

●Do not bend the plug-in surface unit plug terminals.

●Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair the plug-in receptacle.

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

Use the time given on a recipe when cooking the first time. Oven thermostats, in time, may “drift” from the factory setting and differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. If you find that your foods consistently brown too little or too much, you may make a simple adjustment in the thermostat (Oven Temp) knob.

Pull the knob off the shaft, look at the back of the knob and note the current setting before making any adjustment. The knob is factory set with the top screw directly under the pointer.

To adjust the thermostat:

1.Pull off the knob.

2.Loosen both screws on back of the knob.

3.Hold both parts of the knob and turn so the top screw moves in the desired direction. HOI’TER to increase temperature, COOLER to decrease temperature. You will hear and feel the notches as you turn the knob. Each notch changes temperature about 10°.

4.Tighten the screws.

5.Return the knob to the range.

Recheck oven performance before making an additional adjustment.
