Removable Oven Bottom
The oven bottom can be removed to clean
large spills, and to enable you to reach the
oven burner.
Oven bottom must be replaced
before using the self-clean cycle.
To remove:
Slide the tab at the center front of the
oven bottom to the left.
Lift the oven bottom up and out.
To replace:
Slip the oven bottom into the oven so
the tabs in the rear of the oven bottom
fit into the slots in the
oven back.
Lower the front of the oven bottom into
place and slide the front tab to the right
to lock the oven bottom into place.

ILQLVKTo make cleaning easier, protect the
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the
rack you are cooking on. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings
or other foods that are highly acidic (such as
tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar
or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage
to the porcelain enamel surface and should be
wiped up immediately.
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil on
the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the
holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat
at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor
baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an
abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad.
Rinse well to remove any soap before self-
cleaning.

Care and cleaning of 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 shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(on some models) 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 Light Replacement
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.
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 the cover easily.
To remove:
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
the cover.
Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth.
Replace bulb with a 40-watt household
appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
Place it into the groove of the light
receptacle. Pull the 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.
Connect electrical power to the oven.
