Removable Oven Bottoms
The bottom panel in each oven is
removable for cleaning. The one in
the upper oven must be removed
when you use effective cleaners to
clean up excessive spillovers or
remove soil baked onto it-cleaners
that should never be used near the
special porous ceramic oven
interior. If you wish, you can
remove the bottom panel in the
lower oven and clean excessive
spillovers, but be sure to put it back
in the oven before starting the self-
cleaning cycle.
To remove the lower oven bottom:
1. Remove the oven shelves.
2. Remove the two knurled hold-
down screws at the rear of the oven
If screws are too tight to remove by
hand, use a screwdriver.
3. To lift
out
the oven bottom panel,
place your fingers in the slots in the
bottom and lift the rear of the panel
up and back until it is clear of the
lip at the front.
4. Then lift the bottom up and out.
To replace the bottom, place it in
the oven with the back raised about
6 to 8 inches or until you can insert
the front of the oven bottom under
the hold-down lip at the front. Then
push the back of the oven bottom
down fully into place on the metal
flanges and insert the hold-down
screws.
To remove the upper oven
bottom:
1. Remove the oven shelf.
2. Pull bottom forward and out
of oven.
The oven bottom in each oven has
a porcelain enamel finish. To make
cleaning easier, protect the oven
bottoms from excessive spillovers.
Place a small cookie sheet or piece
of aluminum foil slightly larger
than the baking dish on a lower
rack or under the baking dish to
catch any boilovers. It should not
completely cover the rack as this
would cause uneven heat in the
oven.
Oven Light Bulb
Replacement
Before replacing any light bulb,
disconnect electric power to the
range at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel. Let the bulb cool
completely before removing it. Do
not touch a hot bulb with a damp
cloth-the bulb will break.
Replace a burned-out bulb with a
high-temperature appliance bulb of
the same wattage.
Lower Oven: The light bulb is
located in the upper left corner of
the oven behind a special protective
cover. Reach in and hold hand
under cover so it won’t fall when
released. With fingers of same
hand, firmly push down wire bail
until it clears the cover. Lift off
cover, unscrew and replace bulb.
After replacing bulb, replace cover
in groove of lamp receptacle and
lift wire up to center of cover until
it snaps into place. When in place,
wire holds cover firmly. Be sure
wire bail is not below depression in
center of cover.
I
Upper Oven: The light bulb is
located on the right wall of the oven.
To replace it, remove the screw on
the frame in front of the light and
take out the frame, gasket and glass
shield.
After replacing the bulb, reinstall
the glass shield, gasket and frame
in that order.
Aluminum Foil
DO NOT place a sheet of
aluminum foil on the bottom of
either oven. If you do, your foods
may not cook properly. The oven
finish may be damaged. And there
may be an increase in heat on the
outside surfaces of the oven.
