Oven Cleaning
(Left Oven, If equipped)
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the
appliance manually.
Remove spillovers and heavy soils as
soon as possible. Regular cleanings
will reduce the number of future
major cleanings.
Ammonia must be
rinsed before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.
General Cleaning
Porcelain Enamel Oven Cleaning
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners
can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain
on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the
oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with
water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If
necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT
mix ammonia with other cleaners.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short
circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing
bulb located at the top left rear corner of the oven; it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. 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.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or
oven cleaner following oven cleaner manufacturer's instructions.
DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the
appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface of the oven).
Changing Oven Light
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replac-
ing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven light on during a self-cleaning cycle.
High temperature will reduce lamp life.
To Change the Oven Light
The oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened (some models). To
turn the oven light on and off when the door is closed, use the OVEN LIGHT switch
located on the control panel.
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the oven.
2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
3. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.
4. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
5. Replace glass shield in socket and snap wire holder into place.
6. Turn power back on at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).
7. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and Minute
Timer in the Electronic Oven Control guide.
