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 could cause the glass to break or
cause damage to the door.

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. Position the slots in the bottom
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of door:
Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
●
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
scouring pad.
●
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. 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.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Outside of door:
●
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door. 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.
NOTE: Do not clean the bake unit or the broil unit.
Any soil will burn off when the units are 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.
Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser.
After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and
dry with a clean cloth.
