Care & Cleaning
Do not use the following on the cooktop:
Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such
as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the
cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor
the cooktop.
Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as
they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn
and cause discoloration.
Important note:
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning
products that have been specifically designed for ceramic
glass cooktops.
Cooktop cleaning
The oven light is located
at the rear of the oven
cavity and is covered with
a glass shield held by a
wire holder. The glass
shield protects the light
bulb and must be in place
whenever the oven is in
use.
To replace interior
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 light with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder
back into place.
5. Turn power on at main source (or plug the appliance
in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see
Setting clock in this Use & Care Guide.
Aluminum foil and utensils
NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven
rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum
foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners DO NOT USE
ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface elements under ANY circumstances.
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when
using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged
or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the
ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the
cooktop surface.
Replacing oven light
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.
General cleaning
Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care &
Cleaning section for more detailed information about
cleaning specific parts of the range.
Before manually cleaning any part of the
range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range
is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating
the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
