Control Panel and Knobs
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and
water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a
soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners
on the control panel--they will damage the finish. A
50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works welt.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note
that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the
right side are in the proper OFF position. When
replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure
proper placement.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If a
knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a
handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around
the knob edge and pull up.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Avoid getting water down in to the knob stem holes.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the control panel. Clean these
with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.
Glass Surfaces
To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner.
Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Do not allow the
water or cleaner to run down inside openings in
the top of the oven door while cleaning.
Oven Light Replacement
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,
disconnect the electrical power for your range at
the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely
before removing or replacing them. When in use, light
bulbs can become warm enough to break if touched
with a moist cloth or towel. When cleaning, avoid
touching warm lights with cleaning cloths if the light
cover is removed.
The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass
cover which is held in place with a wire. Remove the
oven door, if desired, to reach the cover easily.
To remove:
• Hold your 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.
• Replace bulb with 40-watt home appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
• Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull
the wire forward to the center of cover until it snaps
in 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 the electrical power to the range.
