Maintenance

Oven Door
CAUTION
Do not place excessive weight on or stand on an open
oven door. This could cause the range to tip over, break the
door, or injure the user.
Important: The oven door on a new range may feel "spongy"
when it is closed. This is normal and will decrease with use.

Oven Window

To protect the oven door window:
1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool
scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch
the glass.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or other
objects.
3. Do not close the oven door until the oven racks are in
place.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken
its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later
date.
Storage Drawer
CAUTION
Do not store plastic, paper products, food or flammable
materials in this drawer. The drawer may become too warm
for these items when the oven is in use.
The storage drawer can be removed to allow you to clean
under the range.
To remove:
1. Empty drawer and pull out to the first stop position.
2. Lift up the front of the drawer.
3. Pull out to the second stop position.
4. Grasp sides and lift drawer up and out.
To replace:
1. Fit the ends of the drawer glides into the rails in the range.
2. Lift up the front of the drawer and gently push in to the first
stop position.
3. Lift drawer up again and push until drawer is closed.
Leveling Legs
Be sure the anti-tip bracket secures one of the
rear leveling legs to the floor. This bracket
prevents the range from accidentally tipping.
Be sure the range should be leveled when
installed. If the range is not level, turn the
leveling legs, located at each corner of
the range, until range is level.

Oven Light

• Disconnect power to range before replacing light bulb.
• Allow oven to cool before replacing light bulb.
• Make sure bulb cover and bulb are cool before touching.
To replace oven light bulb:
1. When oven is cool, hold bulb
cover in place, then slide wire
retainer off cover. Important:
Bulb cover will fall if not held
in place while removing wire
retainer.
2. Remove bulb cover and light bulb.
3. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace bulb cover and secure with wire retainer.
5. Reconnect power to range. Reset clock.
