2. Remove the bulb cover by pulling out on the wire holder and moving it to the side.

3. Remove the light bulb from its socket.

4. Replace the buz with a

40-watt appliance bulb available from most gro- cery, variety and hardware stores.

e<OVENVENT

5. Replace the bulb cover and snap the wire holder in place The bulb must have this cover when the oven is being used.

6.

Turn electrical power back on at main power supply.

When the oven is on, hot air and moisture escape through a vent under the right rear surface unit The vent is needed for air circulation in the oven

Do not

block the vent. Poor baking can result.

THE OPTIONAL ROTISSERIE

If you would like a rotisserie for your oven, you can order a kit [Part No. 261881) trom your dealer.

The kit includes easy installation instructions,

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

The self-cleaning cycle uses very high heut to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle safely.

BEFORE YOU START

2. Remove any pots or pans you may have stored in the oven They can’t stand the high heat.

Clean Frame

Clean Door

DO NOT

Clean Seal

3.

Wipe out any loose soil or grease. Thus will help reduce smoke during the cleaning cycle

1.

Clean areas that mav not be cleaned

4. Make sure the motor socket cover is closed if your oven has a rotisserie

5.

12

SPECIAL CAMIONS

SPECIAL TIPS

DO NOT block the vent during the cleaning cycle Air must move freely for best results

DO NOT touch the range during the cleanrng cycle. it can burn you

DO NOT use foil or other liners in the oven. Dur- ing the cleaning cycle, foil can burn or melt

1.

Keepthe kitchen well ventilated during the cleanrng cycle to help get rid of normal heat odors and smoke.

2. Clean the oven before it gets heavrly soiled Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results In more smoke than usual

3. If the cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough Set the cleaning time longer for heavier soil

DO NOT use commercral oven cleaners in your oven Damage to the porcelain frnrsh may occur

DO NOT force the Lock Lever The lever

IS designed to stay locked until the oven

IS cool enough to safely open

4. Oven racks lose their shine. drscolor and become harder to slide on their guides when they are left in the oven during the cleantng cycle To make them slide easier, polish the edges of the racks and rack guides with a soapy steel-wool pad, rinse well. and bvipe on a thin coat of salad oil.

10.

Atter the oven is COOI,

wipe off any residue or ash with a damp cloth. If needed, touch up spots with cleanser or soapy steel-wool pad.

13

HOW IT WORKS

During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or broiling...approximately 875: F (468’C). This heat breaks up grease and soil, and burns it off.

Notice that the heating stops when the two-hour setting is up, but that it takes a while longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.

THE OUTER OVEN WINDOW

If your range has an oven window instead of the black glass door, the outer glass and frame can be removed for cleaning. DO NOT take apart a black glass door.

REMOVING

With the door closed, remove the screws from the top of the outer window frame.

REPLACING

Tip the window and frame out from the top slight1 y.
