Care and cleaning.
Proper care and cleaning are important so your oven will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.
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 bulb cool completely.
The light bulb is located in the upper right
corner of the oven. Replace the bulb with a
40-watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch
a hot bulb with a damp cloth because the bulb
will break.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each use of the oven. 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
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven

damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar
and hot water works well.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel
it from the appliance surface. Do not use any
sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of
the film before using the appliance for the first
time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive
from packaging tape on new appliances is an
application of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on

years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves when
cleaning the oven.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy,
wet scrubbing pads may also be used. Do
not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut,
fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface. They may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The
ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
„ Do not spray on the electrical controls and
switches because it could cause a short circuit
and result in sparking or fire.
„ Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build

the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is
located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe
the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor as a
change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes.
„ Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside
of the door, handles or any exterior surface
of the oven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The
cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Oven Racks
The oven racks may be cleaned with a mild
abrasive cleanser or scrubbing pad. After
cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and
dry with a clean cloth.
