Care & Cleaning
Surface Elemen ts and Drip Bowls - surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans
easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are tureed on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled
on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth--any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element isused.
Be sure the range is cool
before removing elements or drip bowls.
Be careful not to bend terminal ends
when replacing elements after cleaning.

To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
1. Liftthe edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface
element and drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end
outfrom the terminal plug. Ifequipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip from
the drip bowl.
To Clean Drip Bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm. Hard
to remove, burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20
minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and water (1/
2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface.
Always rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
To Replace Drip Bowls and Surface Elements
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip
bowl isequipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite the
terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip, and snap into place.
3. After the element ispositioned inthe drip bowl, line up the terminal end with
the terminal plug as shown.
4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level aspossible and firmly
push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is
seated properly intoterminal plug. Make sure the surface element islevel to
reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.
To Raise the Top for Cleaning
1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in a
raised position. Only lift the top far enough to allow the support rods to snap
intoplace.
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.
3. To lower the top, gently push back on each rod to release the notched support.
Hold the range top and slide the lift rods down intothe range frame.
Changing the Oven Light (some models)
On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door isopened.
Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The
oven light islocated at the rear of the oven and iscovered 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 new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and
Minute Timer in this Use & Care Guide.
[Irl_ 'yl';'_t}_ Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before
