CARE AND CLEANING
Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven
Liners
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these
materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These
types of materials can also reduce the effectiveness of
the air circulation in the oven and produce poor baking
results. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result
in risk of electric shock or fire.
• 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.
• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven
racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air
flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results
for any oven.
Adhere to the following precautions when using spray
oven cleaners:
• Do not spray cleaner on the electrical controls or
switches because it could cause a short circuit and
result in sparking or fire.
• Do not spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or
gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior
surfaces of the oven, plastic or painted surfaces. The
cleaner can damage these surfaces.
• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the
temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. The bulb is located in the rear of the
oven. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven
cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change
in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid
bending the bulb and capillary tube.
Replacing the Oven Light
The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven
cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The glass shield
must be in place whenever the oven is in use (
Figure 5).
To replace the oven interior light bulb:
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
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such
as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
WARNING
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool
before replacing the oven light.
Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing
a new bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers
when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb.
