Care & Cleaning Cleaning Procedures CAUTION • Be sure appliance is off and all parts are cool before handling or cleaning. This is to avoid damage and possible burns. • To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use. • If a part is removed, be sure it is correctly replaced. * Brand names are registered trademarks of the respective manufacturers. ** To order call 1-877-232-6771 USA or 1-800-688-8408 Canada.
Care & Cleaning PART PROCEDURE Oven Windows and Doors Glass • Avoid using excessive amounts of water which may seep under or behind glass causing staining. • Wash with soap and water. Rinse with clear water and dry. Glass cleaner can be used if sprayed on a cloth first. • Do not use abrasive materials such as scouring pads, steel wool or powdered cleaners as they will scratch glass. Oven Interior • Follow instructions on page 18-19 to set a self-clean cycle. Oven Racks • Clean with soapy water.
Maintenance Oven Doors Oven Windows To protect the oven door windows: CAUTION 1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch the glass. • Do not place excessive weight on or stand on open oven doors. This could cause the range to tip over, break the doors, or injure the user. • Do not attempt to open or close doors or operate oven until doors are properly replaced. 2.
Maintenance Leveling Legs Electrical Connection Appliances which require electrical power are equipped with a three-prong grounding plug which must be plugged directly into a properly grounded threehole 120 volt electrical outlet. CAUTION Be sure the anti-tip bracket secures one of the rear leveling legs to the floor. This bracket prevents the range from accidentally tipping. Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing. The three-prong grounding plug offers protection against shock hazards.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM SOLUTION For most concerns, try these first. • • • • Check if oven controls have been properly set. Check to be sure plug is securely inserted into receptacle. Check or re-set circuit breaker. Check or replace fuse. Check power or gas supply. Surface burner fails to light. • Check to be sure unit is properly connected to power supply. • Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. • Check to be sure ignitor is dry and clicking.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM SOLUTION Oven will not self-clean. • • • • Oven did not clean properly. • Longer cleaning time may be needed. • Excessive spillovers, especially sugary and/or acidic foods, were not removed prior to the self-clean cycle. Oven door will not unlock after self-clean cycle. • Oven interior is still hot. Allow about one hour for the oven to cool after the completion of a self-clean cycle. The door can be opened when the LOCK indicator word is not displayed.
