Non-Self-Clean Oven Interior
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.
With proper care, the porcelain enamel
bottom, sides, back and inside of the
doorwill 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.
NOTE:
The glass cover (on some models) should
be removed only when cold. Wearing latex gloves
may offer a better grip.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect
electrical power to the oven at the main fuse
or circuit breaker panel. 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:
Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4
turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the
grooves of the socket. Remove the bulb.
Oven Light Bulb
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.
NOTE:
A 50-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a
standard 50-watt household bulb.
Install and tighten the cover clockwise.
Reconnect electrical power to the oven.
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.
To replace:
Put in a new 50 watt appliance bulb. Place
the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves
of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise
1/4 turn.
