Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the
oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate
around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
36
Probe
The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and
water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the
temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn
spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.
Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.
Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use. 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 cleansers
on the control panel—they will damage the finish.
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
NOTE: The glass cover should be removed
only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer
a better grip.
The light bulb is located on the top of the oven.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical
power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker
panel. Let the bulb cool completely before removing
it. For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb with a
damp cloth. If you do, the bulb will break.
To remove: Turn to remove the cover, then remove
the bulb.
To replace: Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb.
NOTE:
• A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard
40-watt household bulb.
• Install and tighten the cover.
• Reconnect electrical power to the oven.
