Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
Oven Shelves
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable
if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any
acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar)
should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry
paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When
the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with
soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface
has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Clean the shelves with
a mild abrasive
cleanser or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the shelves
with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil after self cleaning to
make the shelves slide more easily.
Oven Light Bulb
NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when
cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.
The light bulb is located on the back wall of the oven.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power
to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel
or unplug the range from the electrical outlet. Let the
bulb cool completely before removing it. For your
safety, do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If
you do, the bulb will break.
To remove: Unscrew the cover and remove the bulb.
DO NOT REMOVE SCREWS.
To replace: Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. A 40-
watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard 40-watt
household bulb.
• Install and tighten the cover.
• Reconnect electrical power to the range.

Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove
the broiler pan and grid
from the oven. Remove
the grid from the pan.
Carefully pour the grease from the pan into a proper
container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in
hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove
burned-on foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
Do not store a soiled pan and grid anywhere in
the range.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned
in the dishwasher.
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the
self-cleaning oven.
