Oven Shelves

Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. 

After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable for cleaning. 

Do not lift the door by the handle. 

To remove the door,

open it to the broil

stop position. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.

To replace the door,

make sure the hinges

are in the broil stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges and slowly lower it over
both hinges.

To clean the inside of the door: 

■ 

Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

■ 

If necessary, you may use an oven
cleaner. Follow the package directions.

■ 

Clean the inside of the oven window
with a mild non-scratching cleaner and
a damp cloth.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ 

Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the
oven door. Rinse well. You may also 
use a glass cleaner to clean the glass 
on the outside of the door. Do not let
water drip into the vent openings.

■ 

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,
tomato sauces and basting materials
containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up
immediately. When surface is cool,
clean and rinse.

■ 

Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the 
outside of the door.

Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.

Oven Light Replacement 

CAUTION: 

Before replacing your oven

light bulb, disconnect the electrical
power to the range at the main fuse or
circuit breaker panel. 

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb
cool completely.

To remove the cover:

Hold a hand under the cover so it
doesn’t fall when released. With
fingers of the same hand, firmly
push back the wire cover holder. 
Lift off the cover. 

Do not remove any screws to remove 
the cover.

Replace bulb with a 40-watt
household appliance bulb.

To replace the cover:

Place it into groove of the light
receptacle. Pull wire forward to the
center of the cover until it snaps
into place. 

Connect electrical power to the
range.
