Care and cleaning of the oven. 

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

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.

Lift-Off Oven Door 

(on some models)

The oven door is removable for easier
access to the light bulb. 

Do not lift the door by the handle. 

To remove the door,

open it to the broil

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 broil 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: 

■ 

Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you
do not need to clean this by hand.

■ 

The area outside the gasket and 
the door liner can be cleaned with a
soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad, 
hot water and detergent. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution.

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.

■ 

If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results. 

■ 

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.

The oven door is removable for easier
access to the light bulb. 

Do not lift the door by the handle. 

To remove the door:

Fully open the door.

Pull the hinge locks down toward 
the door frame, to the unlocked
position. This may require a tool.

Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.

Close door to the door removal
position, which is halfway between
the broil stop position and fully
closed.

Lift door up and out until the hinge
arm is clear of the slot.

To replace the door:

Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.

With the
door at the
same angle as
the removal
position, seat the
indentation of 
the hinge arm 
into the bottom
edge of the hinge slot. The notch in
the hinge arm must be fully seated
into the bottom of the slot.

Fully open the door.

Push the hinge locks up against the
front frame of the oven cavity, to the
locked position.

Close the oven door.
