Maintenance

Oven Light

Before replacing light bulb, DISCONNECT POWER TO OVEN. Be sure bulb is cool. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb may break.

To replace oven light:

Use a dry potholder and very carefully unscrew bulb cover and bulb. Replace with a 40 watt, oven-rated appliance bulb. Bulb with a brass base is recommended to prevent fusing of bulb into socket.

Replace bulb cover and reconnect power to oven. Reset clock.

Oven Window

To protect the oven door window:

1.Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch the glass.

2.Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or other objects.

3.Do not close the oven door until the oven racks are in place.

Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of break- age at a later date.
