The cooktop and surface burners are designed to make
cleaning easier. Since cooktop surface burners are sealed,
cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up
immediately.
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. Refer to the following sections for further
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.
To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt any of the
cleaning instructions provided below before turning OFF
all of the surface burners and allow them to cool.
CAUTION
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head 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 burner
not shown).
To clean the surface burner heads
For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner
head and slots. To clean, first use a clean DAMP cloth to soak
up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots
using a small non-abrasive 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.
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.
To clean the burner grates, burner caps & burner
drip pans (some models)
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser
to clean the burner grates, burner caps and surface burner
drip pans (if equipped).
When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner
caps are seated firmly on top of 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 the burner — DO
NOT allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any
other material to enter the gas orifice holder
opening. Always keep the surface burner cap and
surface burner head in place whenever a surface
burner is in use.

CARE & CLEANING
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.
2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield
that covers the light bulb.
3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder
back into place.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug
the appliance back in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see
“Setting the clock” in this Use & Care Guide.
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.
