CARE AND 

CLEANING: 

Oven Door

Cleaning the Oven Door

Cleaning the Door Interior

Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots 

in the door .
Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass. 

Use a single sided safety razor blade to clean it off. Then 

wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any 

residue and dry off.
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-

filled plastic scouring pad. 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.

Cleaning the Door Exterior

If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild 

abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. 

Do not use this method on any other surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy 

water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe 

the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner 

instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products 

including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, 

see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections 

at the end of this manual.

Oven Door

Lift-Off Lower Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift door by the handle.

To Remove the Door:

1.  Fully open the door.
2.  Pull the hinge locks up and away from the range 

frame to the unlocked position.

3.  Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.
4.  Close door until the top of the door is approximately 

6” from the range frame.

5.  Lift door up and away from the range until both hinge 

arms are clear of the slots in the range frame.

To Replace the Door: 

1.  Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.

2.  With the door at the same angle as the removal 

position, rest the notch on the underside of the left 

hinge arm on the bottom edge of the left hinge slot. 

The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated into 

the bottom of the slot. Repeat for the right side.

3.  Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the 

notches in the bottoms of the hinge arms have not 

seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot. Lift the 

door off the range and repeat previous step.

4.  Push the hinge locks toward the range cavity and 

down to the locked position.
