Care & Cleaning

Surface Elements and Drip Bowls - Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used.

1.

Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip

3.

After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the terminal plug as shown.

Changing the Oven Light (some models)

On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened. Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The oven light is located at the rear of the oven and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

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.

To replace the oven light:

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.

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

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

5.Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).

6.The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and Minute Timer in this Use & Care Manual.
