Care and Cleaning
G
eneral Cleaning
Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all
controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Ammonia must be
rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.
Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible.
Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners
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.
P
rotective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil or any other oven
liners or materials 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.
•
Aluminum foil - Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result
in risk of electric shock or fire.
•
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.
•
During self clean the oven temperature can become hot
enough to melt aluminum cookware and utensils or
aluminum foil if left in the oven. This could result in
permanent damage to the oven interior and porcelain
finish.
A
dhere 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.
Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from
the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because
the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in
hot, soapy water. Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after
each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy
scouring may scratch the grid.
Replacing the Oven Lights
The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven cavity
and covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in
place whenever the oven is in use (See Figure 25).
Be sure the oven is unplugged or power is turned off and all parts
are cool before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced
glove for protection against possible broken glass. 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.
