Removable Oven Bottom

The oven bottom can be removed to clean

large spills, and to enable you to reach the

oven burner.

Oven bottom must be replaced

before using the self-clean cycle.
To remove:

Slide the tab at the center front of the

oven bottom to the left.

Lift the oven bottom up and out.

To replace:

Slip the oven bottom into the oven so

the tabs in the rear of the oven bottom

fit into the slots in the

oven back.

Lower the front of the oven bottom into

place and slide the front tab to the right

to lock the oven bottom into place.

ILQLVKTo make cleaning easier, protect the

oven bottom from excessive spillovers by

placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the

rack you are cooking on. This is particularly

important when baking a fruit pie or other

foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings

or other foods that are highly acidic (such as

tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar

or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage

to the porcelain enamel surface and should be

wiped up immediately.

We don’t recommend using aluminum foil on

the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the

holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat

at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor

baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an

abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad.

Rinse well to remove any soap before self-

cleaning.

Care and cleaning of the oven.

Oven Racks

Clean the oven racks with an abrasive cleanser

or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks

with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The shiny, silver-colored oven racks

(on some models) may be cleaned in the self-

cleaning oven. However, the racks will darken in

color, lose their luster and become hard to slide

if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

To make the racks slide more easily, apply a

small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to

a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven

racks with the paper towel.

Oven Light Replacement

CAUTION:

Before replacing your

oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power

to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker

panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool

completely.
The oven light bulb is covered with a removable

glass cover that is held in place with a

bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if

desired, to reach the cover easily.
To remove:

Hold a 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.

Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth.

Replace bulb with a 40-watt household

appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

Place it into the groove of the light

receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the

center of the cover until it snaps into

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 electrical power to the oven.
