Care and cleaning of the range.

Oven Shelves

Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. 

After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Lift-Off Oven 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,

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: 

■ 

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 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.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides and
the drawer front. 

Clean these with soap and water or 
a vinegar and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.

Oven Light

Before replacing the bulb, disconnect
electrical power to the range at the main
fuse or circuit breaker panel. 

Let the bulb cool completely before
removing it. Replace the bulb with 
a 40-watt appliance bulb only. Do not
touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth
because the bulb will break.
