OVEN RACKS AND RACK SUPPORTS
All of the oven racks and 12” rack supports are chrome plated steel. The roller assisted rack supports
in the main oven are stainless steel. To remove the 12”Oven rack supports,first remove the oven racks,
then grasp the rack supports and pull up and out. To replace the rack supports,put the top in first. See
page 25 for removal of the self cleaning Oven Roller Assisted Rack Support Assemblies. Do Not
immerse the self cleaning Rack Slide Assemblies or wash in a dishwasher. Use a damp sponge,cloth, or
steel wool with a mild detergent to clean. Chrome cleaners, such as Soft Scrub, Cameo or Bar Keepers
Friend can be applied with a damp sponge following package directions. Rinse and dry. Powdered
cleaners such as Bon-Ami or Comet are applied with a damp sponge or cloth,rubbed lightly,rinsed and
dried. For hard to remove food soil use a dampened soap filled steel wool pad,rinsed and dried. Harsh
Cleaners which are commercial oven cleaners, such as Easy Off or Dow can be used on the racks, but
are not recommended for use on the self cleaning oven rack slide assemblies or oven interiors.
Additionally, some commercial oven cleaners cause darkening and discoloration. Test the cleaner on a
small part of the rack and check for any discoloration before cleaning the entire rack. Apply a
generous coating. Allow to stand for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and dry. After being cleaned,
if the racks do not slide easily, pour a small amount of cooking oil on a paper towel and rub it lightly
over the side rails.
FRAME, SIDES, DOOR EXTERIOR, HEAT DEFLECTOR
These parts are made of stainless steel, follow the directions for the Backguard. Take care when
cleaning the door top, and do not let water or cleaners run down the vents. If water or cleaners spill
into the vents, they may streak the glass inside the door.
DOOR GASKET
Use a general kitchen spray cleaner, such as Formula 409® or Fantastik®.Spray it on and blot dry with a
cloth. Do not rub. Do not remove or damage the mesh.
OVEN LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
For oven light bulb replacement use only a 40 watt, 120 volt appliance light bulb. These are available
in supermarkets. DO NOT use a standard light bulb in any oven, the heat will break it.
To Replace the Light Bulb
1) Be sure the oven light bulb switch is in the off position. The bottom of the switch is pressed in.Let
the cover and the bulb cool completely.
2) Remove the light cover. Turn the cover to the left (counterclockwise) to unscrew it.
3) Remove the burnt out bulb. Replace it with a 40 watt appliance light bulb only.
4) Replace cover. Turn circuit breaker back on, if turned off.(See Caution).
CAUTION:
Be sure the Oven light switch is in the OFF position and the cover is cool. If the
bulb comes loose from the base, turn off the power to the oven at the circuit
breaker panel,before attempting to remove the bulb base from the socket.
POWER FAILURE
The broiler and oven burners cannot be turned on during a power failure. To light the open top
burners,turn the control knob to “LITE”,hold a lighted match to the port ring. After the flame is burning
all the way around the burner,adjust the flame. It is necessary to light each burner separately,each time
you want to use it.
