andCleaning

(See CleaningGuide)

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.

OvenShelves

Oven shelves may be cleaned with
a mild abrasive cleanser following
manufacturer’s directions. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean
cloth.

To remove heavy, burned-on soil,
soapy metal pads may be used
following manufacturer’s
directions. After scrubbing, wash
with soapy water, rinse and dry,

Oven shelves may be cleaned in
self-cleaning oven. However, they
will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide.Wipe the
shelf SJpports with cooking oil
after self-cleaning to make shelves
slide more easily.

BroilerPan & Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler
pan and rack from the oven.
Remove the rack from the pan.
Carefully pour out the grease in the
pan into a proper container. Wash
and rinse the pan and rack in hot,
soapy water.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the
rack, while hot, with detergent and
cover with wet paper towels or a
dish cloth. That way, burned-on
foods will soak loose while the
meal is being served.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan
and rack in the oven.

OvenLightBulb

The light bulb is located on the
back wall of the oven. Before
replacing the bulb, disconnect
electric power to the oven at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel
or unplug the oven from the
electrical outlet. Let the bulb cool
completely before removing it, Do
not touch a hot bulb with a damp
cloth.If you do, the bulb willbreak.

Toremove:

● Remove the 4 screws in the lamp

cover.

● Detach lamp cover and remove

bulb.

To replace:

● Putin a new 40-watt appliance

bulb.
NOTE: A 40-watt appliance bulb

is smaller than a standard 40-watt
household bulb. We recommend
you use an appliance bulb that is
no longer than 3%inches.

● Install lamp cover. Replace

screws and tighten, making sure
cover fits flush with oven wall.

● Reconnect electrical power to

the range.

Ltit-OffOvenDoor

The oven door is removable to
make the interior more accessible.

To remove the door,open it a few
inches to the special stop position
that will hold the door open. Grasp
firmly on each side and lift the
door straight up and off the hinges.
Do not use the door handle to lift
tie door.

NOTE: Be careful not to place
hands between the spring hinge
and the oven door frame as the
hinge could snap back and pinch
fingers.

Toreplace the door, make sure
the hinges are in the special stop
position. Position the slots in the
bottom of the door squarely over
the hinges. Then lower the door
slowly and evenly over both
hinges at the same time. If hinges
snap back against the oven frame,
pull them back out.
