CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your radiant
range will give you efficient and satisfactory service.
If soil, mineral deposits from evaporated water spills
or metal rub-off from aluminum cookware is not
removed, it will burn on the glass cooktop surface and
cause permanent discoloration.
Follow these directions carefully in caring for the
radiant cooktop to help assure safe and proper
maintenance.
Be sure that the surface unit control knobs are turned
off and that the entire cooktop is cool before cleaning.
(Sugar spills are the exception. Please see the Glass
Cooktop Cleaning section.) Do not use a cooktop cleaner
on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your
health and can chemically attack the glass surface.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.
If your range is removed
for cleaning, servicing or any
reason, be sure anti-tip device
is re-engaged properly when
the range is replaced. Failure
to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range
and cause injury.

Oven Light Replacement
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,
disconnect the electrical power to the range at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let
the light cover and bulb cool completely.
The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass
cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire.
Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.
To remove:
1. Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall when
released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly
push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS TO
REMOVE COVER.
2. Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth. Replace
bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
1. Place it into groove of the light receptacle. Pull
wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps
into place. When in place, the wire holds the cover
firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in
the center of the cover.
2. Connect electrical power to the range.
