CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Oven Light Bulb (on some models)
The light bulb is located in the upper left corner
of the oven. Before replacing your oven light bulb,
disconnect the electrical power to the range at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the
range from the electrical outlet. Let the bulb cool
completely before removing it. Replace the bulb with
a 40 watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch a hot bulb
with a damp cloth as the bulb will break.
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.
Wash the knobs in soap
and water or a vinegar
and hot water solution
but do not soak.
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 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. 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 rack with detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a
dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
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.
