Care and Cleaning (cont)
Cooktop cleaning instructions
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as
metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop,
making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the
cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they
can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and
cause discoloration.
Important note:
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that
have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
General Cleaning
Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care and
Cleaning section for more detailed information about cleaning
specific parts of the range.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The
range may be hot and can cause burns.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Aluminum Foil and Utensils
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can
damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking
utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements
under any circumstances.
• Aluminum cookware and utensils - The melting point of
aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care
must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when
using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or
destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic
glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
Replacing the Oven Light
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are
cool before replacing oven light.
The interior oven light is located on the left side of the oven
cavity. (See Figure 40).
To replace the oven interior light bulbs:
Important note:
Use a paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb
when installing.
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the
appliance. Carefully remove glass shield.
2. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt halogen bulb. Replace
glass shield.
3. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in). Be sure to reset the time of day on the
clock.
Lift backside of
glass shield and
remove it.
