.- Oven Light Bulb
The light bulb is located in the
upper left corner of the oven.
Before replacing the bulb,
disconnect electric power to the
range at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel or unplug the range
from the electric outlet. Let the
bulb cool completely before
removing it. Do not touch ahot
bulb with adamp cloth as the bulb
will break.
To remove: Hold hand under
lamp bulb cover so it doesn’t fall
when released. With fingers of
same hand, firmly push down wire
bail until it clears cover. Lift off
cover. DO NOI’ REMOVE ANY
SCREWS TO REMOVE THIS
COVER. Replace bulb with a
40-watt home appliance bulb.
To replace cover: Place cover into
groove of lamp receptacle. Lift
wire bail up to center of cover until
it snaps into place. When in place,
wire holds cover firmly. Be certain
wire bail is not below depression
in center of cover,
Removable Oven Bottom
You can remove the oven bottom
to clean any excessive spillovers
before starting the self-cleaning
cycle.
To remove the oven bottom:
1. Remove the oven shelves.
2. Remove the two knurled hold-
down screws at the rear of the oven.
If they are too tight to remove by
hand, use acoin or screwdriver.
3. To lift out the oven bottom,
place your fingers in the slots in the
bottom and lift the rear of the oven
bottom up and back until the oven
bottom is clear of the lip at the front.
4. Then lift the bottom up and out.
To replace the bottom, place it in
the oven with the back raised about
6to 8inches or until you can insert
the front of the oven bottom under
the hold-down lip at the front.
Then push the back of the oven
bottom down fully into place on the
metal flanges and insert the hold-
down screws.
Removable Oven Door
The oven door is removable to
make the interior more accessible
during replacement of the lamp
bulb.
Remove
Open the oven door fully and
remove the two Phillips screws that
hold the door to the hinges. Then
close the door to the automatic stop
position (at about 3inches open),
and lift the door straight up and off
the hinges. (Due to the large amount
of insulation and the construction
of the door, it is heavy. )
Note: Care should be taken not to
place hands between the spring
hinge and the oven door frame as
the hinge could snap back and
pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the
hinges are in the “out” position.
Position the slots in the bottom of
the door squarely over the hinges.
Then lower the door slowly and
evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against
the oven frame, pull them back out.
When the door is in position, open
it fully and insert the two Phillips
screws.
