CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Oven Light Bulb (on some models)
CAUTION: Disconnect electrical power to the oven at the main
circuit breaker or fuse box before attempting to replace the oven
light bulb. Do not touch a hot light bulb with wet hands or a wet
cloth. Wait until the bulb has cooled and use a dry cloth.
The light bulb is located in the upper left corner (may vary) of the oven.
Replace the bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.
Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and 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. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may
be removed for easier
cleaning. To remove
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.
Removable Broiler Drawer (on some models)
To remove:
1. When the broiler is cool, remove the grid and pan.
2. Pull the broiler drawer out until it stops, then push
it back in about one inch.
3. Grasp the handle, lift and pull the broiler drawer out.
Clean the broiler drawer with hot soapy water.
To replace:
Hold the broiler drawer in the raised position as you
slide it partway into the range. Then lower the drawer
and push it completely closed.
Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the
broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the
pan. Carefully pour out grease
from the pan into a proper
container. Wash and rinse the
broiler pan and grid in hot
water with a soap-filled or
plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a
dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
The broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere
in the range.
CAUTION: Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in
a self-cleaning oven.
