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.
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel
finish. To 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.
