Care and cleaning of the range.

44

Clean the oven racks and the convection
roasting rack with an abrasive cleanser or
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks
with clean water and dry with a clean
cloth.

NOTE: 

The oven racks and convection roasting

rack may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.
However, the oven racks will darken in color,
lose their luster and become hard to slide if
cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. 

To make the oven racks slide more easily,
apply a small amount of cooking oil to a
paper towel and wipe the edges of the
oven racks with the paper towel.

Safety Instructions

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the door, 
top of the control panel and the drawer
front. Clean these with soap and water or 
a vinegar and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.

Oven Light Bulbs 

NOTE: 

The glass cover should be

removed only when cold. Wearing latex
gloves may offer a better grip.

CAUTION

: 

Before replacing your

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

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

For your safety, do not touch a bulb with
bare hands or a damp cloth. It can also
shorten the bulb life.

To remove: 

Turn the glass cover
counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the
tabs of the glass cover clear the
grooves of the socket.

Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb by pulling it straight out.

To replace: 

Use a new 130-volt Halogen bulb,
not to exceed 50 watts.

Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb from its packaging. 

Do not

touch the bulb with bare fingers.

Push the bulb straight into the
receptacle all the way. Then replace
the screen.

NOTE: 

The screen must be replaced or

the life of the bulb will be reduced. 

Place the tabs of the glass cover into
the grooves of the socket. Turn the
glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.

For improved lighting inside 
the oven, clean the glass cover
frequently using a wet cloth. This
should be done when the oven is
completely cool.

Reconnect electrical power to 
the oven.
