Oven Light Replacement

(on some models)

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

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 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.

2. Connect electrical power to the range.

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use of the oven. 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 cleaners on the control
panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be
removed for easier cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it
straight off the stem. If knob
is difficult to remove, place
a towel or dishcloth between
the knob and control panel and pull gently. Wash the
knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water
solution but do not soak.

Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water.
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or
commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

Removable Storage Drawer

(on some models)

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware
and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable
material in the drawer.

Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is
too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened.

The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning
under the range. Clean the storage drawer with a
damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or
scouring pads.

To remove the storage drawer:

1. Pull the drawer straight

out until it stops.

2. Tilt the front of the

drawer up and free of
the range.

To replace the storage drawer:

1. Set the stops on the back of the drawer over the

stops in the range.

2. Slide the drawer evenly and straight back, so that

the rails in the range are engaged.
