If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper
at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaner &buff
surface clean.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic
cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur
if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor
blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt & scrape the soil from the hot surface (as
illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool & use the same method for heavy or burned on
soils.

Changing the Interior Oven Light (some 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.
To replace the oven light:
1.
Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.
2.
Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
3.
Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
4.
The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting Oven Controls in this Use &
Care Manual.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven
light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and
cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Please
refer to the Cleaning Chart provided at the beginning of the General Care &
Cleaning section in this Use & Care Manual.
Care & Cleaning of Stainless Steel
The bake element is designed to be gently tilted up using your hand from the front of
the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be
careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
Cleaning the Oven Bottom
The baking
element
may be tilted
about 4 or 5
inches to
clean the
oven
bottom.
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• 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.
NOTE: Additional cooktop cleaning cream may be ordered by visiting the
