Care and Cleaning (cont)
Do not use the following on the cooktop:General Cleaning
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as
metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop,
making it more difficult to clean.
•
Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the
cooktop.
•
Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they
can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and
cause discoloration.
Important note:
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that
have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
General Cleaning
Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care &
Cleaning section for more detailed information about cleaning
specific parts of the range.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The
range may be hot and can cause burns.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Aluminum foil and utensils
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
Protective Liners — DO NOT USE ALUMINUM
FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recom-
mended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
•
Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can
damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking
utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements
under ANY circumstances.
•
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much
lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when
aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If
aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the
cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed,
but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface,
permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
Replacing the oven light
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are
cool before replacing oven light.
The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity.
(See
Figure 20
).
To replace the oven interior light bulb:
Important note:
Use a paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb
when installing.
1.
Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the
appliance.
2. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
3. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in).
4. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
