Oven Vent on Radiant Glass or Coil Cooktops
On glass cooktop models, the oven vent is
located behind the right-rear surface unit.
On coil cooktop models, the oven is vented
through an opening under the right-rear
surface unit.
This area could become hot during oven use.
It is normal for steam to come out of the vent,
and moisture may collect underneath it when
the oven is in use.
The vent is important for proper air circulation.
Never block this vent.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Porcelain Oven Interior
(on standard-clean models)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on
the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back
and inside of the door—will stay new-looking for
years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the oven.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning
with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled
scouring 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.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven overnight.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen
the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
■
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could cause
a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
■
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build
up on the temperature sensor—it could cause
the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is
located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe
the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor as
a change in its position could affect how
the oven bakes.
■
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces.
NOTE:
Allow drawer to cool before removing
pan.
NOTE:
Wipe spills promptly after each use.
■
The drawer has a removable pan for easy
cleaning. Clean with hot, soapy water and a
sponge or dish towel. Dry with a clean cloth.
Replace the pan in the lower oven drawer.
■
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven (on some
models).
Removable Warming/Lower Oven Drawer Pan
(on some models)
NOTE:
For models with an electric
warming drawer or lower oven drawer,
before performing any adjustments,
cleaning or service, disconnect the
range electrical power supply at the
household distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching off the
circuit breaker. Make sure the drawer
heating element is cool.
