CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Oven Light Bulb (on some models)

The light bulb is located in the upper left corner of the oven. Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the electrical outlet. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. Replace the bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb will break.

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier

cleaning. To remove

knob, pull it straight off the stem.

Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

Removable Broiler Drawer (on some models)

To remove:

1.When the broiler is cool, remove the grid and pan.

2.Pull the broiler drawer out until it stops, then push it back in about one inch.

3.Grasp the handle, lift and pull broiler drawer out. Clean the broiler drawer with hot soapy water.

To replace:

Hold the broiler drawer in the raised position as you slide it partway into the range. Then lower the drawer and push it completely closed.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out 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 rack 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 can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

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

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