Care and Cleaning
Aluminum Foil and Utensils
Important notes:
• 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.
Cleaning under bake element
The bake element is located in the lower oven cavity. For some
models, if the lower bake element is visible it may be tilted up
for easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Remove the
oven racks before raising the element. Be careful not to raise the
element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
Replacing the oven light
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are
cool before replacing oven light.
The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven cavity
and are covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in
place whenever the oven is in use (See Figure 14).
To replace the oven interior light bulb:
Important note:
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.
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the
appliance.
2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn
counter-clockwise.
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt
appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in).
6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
Oven door Use mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water to clean the
top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well. Glass cleaner may be used on the outside
glass of the door. Ceramic smoothtop cleaner or polish may be used on the interior door
glass. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or cleaners to enter
the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning
materials on the outside of the oven door.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material
which is essential for a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or remove this gasket.
Surface or Area Cleaning Recommendation
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. Improper installation of these liners
may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
