Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door and at the bottom of the range,
under the storage drawer or warming
drawer (depending on the model).
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Use a damp
cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use
mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean
water. 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.
Do not bend knobs by pulling them up or
down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
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.
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.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Pull the knob straight off the stem.
Wire cover holder.
Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser
or scouring pad. After cleaning, rinse the
shelves with clean water and dry with a
clean cloth.
If the shelves ever become hard to slide,
wipe the shelf edges or oven shelf supports
with vegetable oil.
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you
begin the self-clean cycle or they may discolor.
Oven Light Replacement
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:
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
the cover.
Do not touch hot bulb with a wet
cloth. Replace bulb with a 40-watt
household appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
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.
Connect electrical power to the range.
