Care & Cleaning

Adjusting Your Oven Temperature

The oven light automatically turns ON when the door is opened. The oven light

may also be manually operated by pressing the 

 pad.

The oven light bulb 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 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.

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 Manual.

 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.

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the
appearance of stainless parts. Refer to the Care & Cleaning Table for detailed cleaning instructions.
