CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it
is heavy. You may need help
removing and replacing 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.
NOTE: Be careful not to place
hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the
door, make sure
the hinges are
in the special
stop position.

at the same
time. If hinges snap back
against the oven frame,
pull them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of 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
surface.
They may cause a dull spot even
after cleaning.
●
Household ammonia may make
the cleaning job easier. Place
1/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven
overnight. The ammonia fumes
will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
●
If necessary, you may use
an oven cleaner. Follow
package directions.
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the
inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside
of the door—will stay new-looking for years.
Let range cool before cleaning. We recommend that
you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.
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 dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job
easier. Place
cup in a shallow glass or pottery
container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
NOTE: Do not clean the bake unit or broil unit. Any
soil will burn off when the unit is heated. The bake
unit can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If
spillover, residue, or ash accumulate around the bake
unit, gently wipe around the unit with warm water.
Outside of door:
●
Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of
the oven. DO NOT let water run
down through openings in the top
of the 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
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
●
Do not use oven cleaners,
cleansing powders or harsh
abrasives on the outside of
the door.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
●
Do not spray on the electrical controls and switches
because it could cause a short circuit and result in
sparking or fire.
●
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on
the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of
the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor
as a change in its position could affect how the oven
bakes.
●
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,
handles or any exterior surface of the oven, wood or
painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.
