CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 (24” and 27”) 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. To clean, use a
damp sponge, cloth, or steel wool with a mild detergent. 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 rollers 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 in the main oven do not slide easily, pour a small amount of cooking oil on
a paper towel and rub it lightly over the side rails and rollers. Spray rollers with “Pam” if racks get hard to move.
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
Clean with hot water only. Do not rub. Press a dry towel on the gasket to dry. 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 or turn off circuit breaker. 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 Warning below).
WARNING!
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
To light the cooktop 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. Do not attempt to match light the griddle, grill, broil burners, or oven; they will
not function without any electrical power. Make sure knobs are in the “OFF” position should power be restored
and you are away from the unit. Do not leave the burner unattended. The burner will not relight if blown out.
