Care and Cleaning

Cleaning 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.
Important note:
Small food particulars on or around the electrode could stop the
burner from lighting.
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port located as shown.
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 (Figure
burner on some models not shown).
Important notes:
• The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and
must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.
• Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a
surface burner is in use.
• When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner caps
are seated firmly on top of the burner heads. Improper
flame size and uneven heating may result when any surface
burners are turned on and the burner caps are not seated
correctly.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow
spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter
the gas orifice port opening.

Replacing the Oven Light

The round halogen oven light is located at the rear of the oven
cavity and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder
(Figure 42). The glass shield protects the light bulb and must be
in place whenever the oven is in use.
To replace the oven interior light bulb:
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.
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source.
2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn
counter-clockwise (Figure
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt
appliance bulb.
Important: 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.
4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise. The
glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in).
