Care and cleaning of the range.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from

the oven. Remove the grid from the pan.

Carefully pour out grease from the pan into

a proper container. Wash and rinse the

broiler pan and grid in hot water with a

soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with

detergent while hot and cover with wet

paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan

will remove burned on foods.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid

anywhere in the range.

The gasket is designed with a

gap at the bottom to allow for

proper air circulation.
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.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:

Do not allow excess water to run into any

holes or slots in the door.
Wipe dishwashing detergent 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.

To clean the inside 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.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato

sauces and basting materials containing

acids may cause discoloration and should

be wiped up immediately. When the

surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing

powders or harsh abrasives on the outside

of the door.

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the

top.

2. Insert and seat the upper and lower hinge

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy.

You may need help removing and replacing
