Care and cleaning of the cooking center.
Lower Oven Light Bulb
NOTE: The glass cover (on some
models) should be removed only when
cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer
a better grip.
CAUTION
: Before replacing your
oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical
power to the oven at the main fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb
cool completely.
For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb
with bare hands or a damp cloth.
To remove:
Turn the glass cover
counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the
tabs of the glass cover clear the
grooves of the socket.
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb by pulling it straight out.
To replace:
Use a new 130-volt halogen bulb,
not to exceed 50 watts.
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb from its packaging. Do not
touch the bulb with bare fingers.
Push the bulb straight into the
receptacle all the way.
Place the tabs of the glass cover into
the grooves of the socket. Turn the
glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
For improved lighting inside
the oven, clean the glass cover
frequently using a wet cloth. This
should be done when the oven is
completely cool.
Reconnect electrical power to
the oven.

Oven Racks
Clean the oven racks with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the racks with clean water and dry
with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven racks may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, the racks will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard
to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
To make the racks slide more easily,
apply a small amount of vegetable oil or
cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the
edges of the oven racks with the paper
towel.
Oven rack
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface
in the direction of the grain. Follow the
cleaner instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.
