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.
