You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40°F. NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures.
Safety Instructions Before a Clean Cycle The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. We recommend venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle. The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, to help prevent heavy smoke caused by selfcleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you must first clean off the excess grease.
Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the range. If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury. Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel. The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the range. Lift-Off Oven Door The oven door is removable for easier access to the light bulb. Do not lift the door by the handle. Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced. Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions See the Installation Instructions for door removal and replacement.
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Place it into groove of the light receptacle. Pull wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place. Connect electrical power to the range. To remove the cover: 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.
Safety Instructions Cleaning the glass cooktop. Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for the first time. Also, clean the glass surface after each use. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier. To clean the cooktop seal around the edge of the glass, let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean. Use a mild detergent if needed. Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal because it will cut or damage it.
