Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and cleaning of the oven. Wire cover holder Oven Light Replacement CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely. The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach the cover easily. To remove: Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn't fall when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover. Do not remove any screws to remove the cover. Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth. Replace bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb. To replace cover: Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place. When in place, the wire holds the cover firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in the center of the cover. Connect electrical power to the oven. Unlock Lock Removable Oven Bottom The oven bottom can be removed to clean large spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner. Oven bottom must be replaced before using the self-clean cycle. To remove: Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom to the left. Lift the oven bottom up and out. To replace: Slip the oven bottom into the oven so the tabs in the rear of the oven bottom fit into the slots in the oven back. Lower the front of the oven bottom into place and slide the front tab to the right to lock the oven bottom into place. The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately. We don't recommend using aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor baking performance. To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning. Oven Racks Clean the oven racks with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. NOTE: The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) may be cleaned in the selfcleaning oven. However, the racks will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. To make the racks slide more easily, apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel.
