Porcelain Enamel Oven and Broiler Drawer
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the
oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with
water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner, if
necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT mix
ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and
the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse
well using clean water and a cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray cleaner on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause
a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb;
it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the rear of the oven.)
Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb
and capillary tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler drawer glides,
handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, plastic or painted surfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
The oven bottom is porcelain enamel and can be removed for easier cleaning. See "To Remove and Replace Oven
Bottom" under General Cleaning.
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's
instructions,
Changing the Oven Light (some models)
On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened.
Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The oven
light 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:
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.
3. Replace bulb with a new40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
5. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see "Setting the Clock" and "Setting
the Minute Timer" under Setting Oven Controls in this Use & Care Guide.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing
