Care and cleaning of the range.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable for cleaning.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door,
open it to the special
stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven
door frame.
To replace the door,
make sure the hinges
are in the special stop position. Position
the slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges and slowly lower it over
both hinges.
To clean the inside of the door:
(on standard clean models)
■
Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
■
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
■
Clean the inside of the oven window with
a mild non-scratching cleaner and a
damp cloth.
To clean the outside of the door:
■
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door. Do not let water drip into the
vent openings.
■
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When surface
is cool, clean and rinse.
■
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
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.
Glass Window
(on some models)
To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass
cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake
element. Clean with warm soapy water.
