CARE AND CLEANING

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

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF AND ALL SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and grid from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour the grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Do not store a soiled pan and grid anywhere in the oven.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the self- cleaning oven.

Oven Light Bulb

NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.

The light bulb is located on the top of the oven. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do, the bulb will break.

To remove: Turn to remove the cover, then remove the bulb.

To replace: Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb.

NOTE:

A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard 40-watt household bulb.

Install and tighten the cover.

Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate around the bake element gently wipe around the element with warm water.
