Care and cleaning.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. 
You may need help removing and replacing the
door. Do not lift the door by the handle. This
can cause the glass to break or can cause
damage to the door.

To remove the door,

open it a few inches to

the special stop position that will hold the
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTES: 

Be careful not to place hands between the hinge
and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap
back and pinch fingers.

While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain
enamel on the 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 at the same time. Then
lower the door slowly and evenly over both
hinges at the same time. If the hinges snap
back against the oven frame, pull them
back out.

To clean the inside of the door:

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. Do not use
oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh
abrasives on the outside of the door.

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.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.

Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the 
outside of the door.

Broiler Drawer

To remove:

When the broiler is cool, remove the
grid and pan.

Pull the broiler drawer out until it
stops, then push it back in about 1

.

Grasp handle, lift and pull broiler
drawer out (lift the rollers located
under the drawer over the roller
guides in the oven).

To replace:

Put the rollers under the broiler 
drawer behind the roller guide stops 
in the oven.

Hold the broiler drawer in the raised
position as you slide it partway into the
oven. Then lower the drawer and push
it completely closed.

Broiler compartment

Front frame

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling,

remove the broiler pan from

the broiler drawer. Remove the grid from
the pan. Carefully pour out grease from the
pan into a proper container. Wash and
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water
with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, 

sprinkle the grid

with detergent while hot and cover with wet
paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the
pan will remove burned on foods.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be
cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the oven.

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.
