Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable to make
the interior more accessible.

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
frame as the 

 hinge could snap

back and pinch your fingers.

Wash with hot, soapy water. For
stubborn spots, use a solution of
vinegar and water. Do not immerse
the door in water.

To 

replace the door, 

make sure the

hinges are in the “out” 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.

Oven Shelves

You may clean the oven shelves with
a mild abrasive cleanser, following
manufacturer’s directions. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a dry cloth.

To remove heavy, burned-on soil,

you may use soapy metal pads,
following manufacturer’s directions.
After scrubbing, wash with soapy
water, rinse and dry.

Broiler Pan & Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler
pan and rack and carefully pour off

the grease. Wash and rinse the
broiler pan and rack in hot, soapy

water.

If food has burned on, sprinkle
the rack with detergent 

 hot

and cover with wet paper towels or
a dishcloth. That way, burned-on

foods will soak loose while the
meal is being served.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan
and rack in the oven or broiler
compartment.

Broiler Drawer

To 

remove:

1. 

When broiler is cool, remove

rack and pan.

2. 

Pull the broiler drawer out until

it stops, then push it back in about
one inch.

3. 

Grasp handle, lift and pull

broiler drawer out.

Clean the broiler drawer with hot
soapy water.

To 

replace:

1. 

Hold the broiler drawer in the

raised position as you slide it

partway into the range. Then lower
the drawer and push it completely
closed.

Range Top Burners

The holes in the burners of your
range must be kept clean at all
times for proper ignition and an
even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the burners
routinely, especially after bad

 which could clog these

holes.

The burners can be taken out of 
range for easier cleaning. If 
screw is in place, remove and 
it. Burner can then be lifted 
up and removed.

To remove burned-on food, soak 
burner in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and water. Soak the 
for 20 to 30 minutes. If the food
doesn’t rinse off completely, scrub
it with soap and water and a brush
or plastic pad. Do not use steel
wool or abrasive cleaners, because
they will clog the burner openings
and scratch the burners. If the hole
become clogged, clean them with 
toothpick.

Before putting the burner back,
shake out excess water and then 
it thoroughly by setting it in a warn
oven for 30 minutes. Then place it
back in the range, making sure it is
properly seated and level.

Do not store flammable
materials in an oven or near
the cooktop. 

Do not store or

use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other
appliance.

Never block the vents (air
openings) of the range. 

They

provide the air inlet and outlet
that is necessary for the range

to operate properly with correct
combustion. Air openings are
located in the following places:
—Oven vent at the rear of the
Cooktop.
—Air intake under the broiler

door.
—Air vent at the top of the oven
door.
