Replacing oven light
The light bulb is located at the rear of the oven and is
covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass
shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug
the range.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before
replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection
against possible broken glass.
CAUTION
Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head
ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame. See the following sections for more instructions.
Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners
To avoid possible burns use care when cleaning the
cooktop. DO NOT attempt to clean the cooktop whenever
the cooktop or burner heads are still hot.
Any additions, changes or conversions required in order
for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by an authorized qualified Agency.
CAUTION
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot
up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp
cloth and wipe dry.
Always keep the surface burner caps in place
whenever a surface burner is in use.
When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner
caps are seated firmly on top of the burner heads.
The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop
and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners —
DO NOT allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.
IMPORTANT
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head (except Powerplus boil burner) has a small
ignition port located as illustrated. Should you experience ignition
problems it may be that this port hole is partially blocked with
soil. With the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge
needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port (See
Fig. 1 - center oval burner not shown).
To clean burner caps
• Remove caps from burner heads after they have cooled.
• Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and absorbent
cloth.
• Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning
including the bottom and inside of cap.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch porcelain.
• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.
• Do not operate surface burners without burner caps
properly in place. See IMPORTANT notes below.
To clean burner grates
• Clean when the grates are cool.
• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive
cleanser.
• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean
immediately after the grates are cool.
• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.
To clean the surface burner heads
For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner
head and slots (See Figs. 1 & 2). To clean, first use a clean
DAMP cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from
between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush like a
toothbrush and afterwards wipe up using a damp cloth. For
stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or
needle to clean.
Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully
cleaned. Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing
hard or it could be damaged.
