against possible broken glass.

To Change the Oven Light (some Self Cleaning Models)

On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is

opened. Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on

the light. The oven light is located at the rear of the oven and is covered with

a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever

the oven is in use.

To replace the oven light:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.

3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).

6. The clock(if equipped) will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the

Clock and Minute Timer in this Owner's Guide.

Note: The adjustments made will not

change the self-cleaning temperature.
