Oven cavity
Do not use oven cleaners.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled, steel wool pads may also be
used.
Be sure to wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.
To clean the oven bottom, gently lift the bake element. This will allow easier access
to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 to
5 inches from the resting position. Clean with warm soapy water.
Oven heating elements
Do not clean the oven heating elements. Any soil will burn off when the elements
are heated.
Oven racks
Clean the racks with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
To make the racks slide more easily apply a small amount of vegetable oil or
cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the racks with it.
Broiler pan
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Carefully pour out the grease
from the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan in hot water with soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
It may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner. The broiler pan can also be
cleaned in the dishwasher.
Oven light (on some
models)
Before replacing the oven light bulb, turn the oven light OFF. Replace bulb with a
40-watts household appliance bulb.
Broiler drawer (on some
models)
The broiler drawer can be removed. Before removing, make sure drawer is cool and
empty.
To remove:
•
Open drawer to its full open position.
•
Locate the black tabs on both sides of the drawer.
•
Press the tabs on both right and left side at the same time, then pull drawer
out another inch.

To replace:
•
