CARE AND CLEANING
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
Protective liners—Do not use oven bottom liners or use
aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Do not use aluminum
foil to line the oven bottom, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electrical shock, or fire. Using a foil liner in the oven
restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best
possible cooking results.
During self clean the oven temperature can become hot
enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum foil
if left in the oven. This could result in permanent damage to
the oven interior and porcelain finish.
Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan
with aluminum foil. Do not cover the insert with foil. To
prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from
the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease.
Soak the pan in hot, soapy water. Clean the broiler pan as
soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-
filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the
insert.
Replacing the Oven Light
The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven
cavity and are protected by glass shields. The shields must
be in place whenever the oven is in use (
Figure 42
).
Replacing the oven interior light bulb:
1.
Disconnect electrical power at the main source or
unplug the appliance.
2.
Remove any/all oven racks that hinder access to the
oven lights.
3.
Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter
turn.
4.
Pull the bulb straight out.
5.
Replace defective bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25
watt appliance bulb.
6.
Reinstall the oven light shield.
7.
Reconnect power at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in).
8.
Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
•
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The
fumes can be hazardous to your health and can
chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.
•
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.

WARNING
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool
before replacing an oven light.
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingertips when
replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb. Use a
paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb.
