Care
and
Cleafing
(See
Cleaning
Guide)
Proper care and cleaning are
important so your oven will give
you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for your oven to
assure safe and proper maintenance.
Oven Shelves
Oven shelves may be cleaned with
a mild abrasive cleanser following
manufacturer’s directions. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth.
To remove heavy, burned on soil,
soapy metal pads may be used
following manufacturer’s
directions. After scrubbing, wash
with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable to
make the interior more accessible
during replacement of the
lamp bulb.
To remove the door,
open it a few
inches to the special stop position
that
will
hold the door open. Grasp
firmly on each side and lift the
door straight up and off the hinges.
Note: Be careful 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 special stop
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
-
nap
back against the oven frame,
Jull
them back out.
Oven Light Bulb
Replacement
Before replacing any light bulb,
disconnect electric power to the
range at the main fuse, outlet or
circuit breaker panel.
Let the
bulb cool completely before
removing it. Do not touch a hot
bulb with a damp cloth—the bulb
will break.
The oven lamp (bulb) is covered
with a removable glass cover that
is held in place with a bail-shaped
wire. Remove oven door, if
desired, to reach cover easily.
To remove:
● Hold hand under cover so it
doesn’t fall when released. With
fingers of same hand, firmly push
back wire bail until it clears cover.
Lift off cover. DO NOT REMOVE
ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE
COVER.
● Replace bulb with a 40-watt
household appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
● Place it into groove of lamp
receptacle. Pull wire bail forward
to center of cover until it snaps
into place. When in place, wire
holds cover firmly. Be certain wire
bail is in depression in center of
cover.
●
Connect electrical power to the
oven.
Broiler Pan &
Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler
rack and carefully pour off the
grease. Wash and rinse the pan
and rack in hot, soapy water.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the
rack while hot with detergent and
cover with wet paper towels or a
dish cloth. That way, burned-on
foods will soak loose while the
meal is being served.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan
and rack in the broiler compartment
or in the oven.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain
enamel finish.
To make cleaning
easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive
spillovers.
This is
particularly important when baking
a fruit pie or other foods with high
acid content. Hot fruit fillings or
foods that are acid in content such
as milk, tomato or sauerkraut, and
sauces with vinegar or lemon juice,
may cause pitting and damage to
the porcelain enamel surface.
To protect the oven bottom
surface, place a piece of aluminum
foil slightly larger than the baking
dish or a small cookie sheet on a
lower shelf or under the baking
dish to catch any
spillovers.
It
should not completely cover the
shelf as this would cause uneven
heat in the oven. Aluminum
foil should not be placed on the
oven bottom.
If a
spillover
does occur on the oven
bottom allow the oven to cool first.
You can clean the bottom with soap
and water, a mild abrasive cleanser
or soap-filled abrasive pads.
