CARE AND CLEANING
General Cleaning
Refer to
“Cleaning Various Parts of Your Appliance”
for more detailed information about cleaning
specific parts of the range.
Aluminum Foil and Utensils
•
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
Replacing the oven interior light bulb:
The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven
cavity. The glass cover must be in place whenever the oven
is in use (
). Only use lamps with the same specifi-
cations.
1.
Put a cloth on the bottom of the interior of the appliance.
It prevents damage to the lamp glass cover and the
cavity.
2.
Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug
the appliance.
3.
Turn the lamp glass cover counterclockwise to remove
it.
4.
Clean the glass cover.
5.
Replace the lamp with a suitable 300°C heat-resistant
lamp.
6.
Replace glass oven lamp glass cover.
7.
Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug
the appliance back in).
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.
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.

WARNING
WARNING
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool
before replacing oven light.
Do not allow your fingers to touch the new bulb when
replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb. Use a
paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb
when installing.
