Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth

head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame. See the following sections for more instructions.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up
spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and
wipe dry.
To clean burner grates

• Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and absorbent
cloth.
• Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning
including the bottom and inside of cap.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch porcelain.
• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.

To clean the surface burner heads
For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner head
and slots. To clean, first use a clean DAMP cloth to soak up any
spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots using a
small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards wipe
up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots,
use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean.
Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully cleaned.
Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing hard or it could
be damaged.
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port located as illustrated.
Should you experience ignition problems it may be that this port
hole is partially blocked with soil. With the burner head in place,
use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip to clear
the ignition port (See Fig. 1 - center burner not shown).
Replacing oven light
The light bulb is located at the rear of the oven and is covered
with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must
be in place whenever the oven is in use.
To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the
range.
2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield that
covers the light bulb.
3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder back
into place.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see "Setting
the clock" in this Use & Care Guide.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL
before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove
for protection against possible broken glass.
