Care & Cleaning

Cooktop cleaning

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

•Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

•Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

•Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Important note:

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

General cleaning

Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care & Cleaning section for more detailed information about cleaning specific parts of the range.

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Aluminum foil and utensils

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners — DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

•Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under ANY circumstances.

•Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Replacing oven light

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

The oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield protects the light bulb and must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace interior oven light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2.Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield that covers the light bulb.

3.Replace light with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4.Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder back into place.

5.Turn power on at main source (or plug the appliance in).

6.The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting clock in this Use & Care Guide.
