General Care & Cleaning
Fig. 3
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon
pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners,
as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint
on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
Removing and Replacing the Lift-Off Oven Door
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the
inside of the door facing down.
To Remove Oven Door:
1.
Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - See Fig. 1).
2.
Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges down from the oven frame
completely towards the oven door (See Fig. 2). A tool such as a small flat-blade
screwdriver may be required.
3.
Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do not use the oven door
handle - See Fig. 3).
4.
Close the door to the broil stop position (the oven door will stop into this position
just before fully closing).
5.
With the oven door in the broil stop position, lift the oven door hinge arms over the
roller pins located on each side of the oven frame (See Fig. 4).
To Replace Oven Door:
1.
Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do not use the oven door
handle - See Fig. 3).
2.
Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the hook of
the hinge arm over the roller pins located on each side of the oven door frame (See
Fig. 4). The hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the roller pins.
3.
Fully open the oven door (horizontal with floor - See Fig. 1).
4.
Push the door hinge locks up towards and into the oven frame on both left and right
oven door hinges (See Fig. 2) to the locked position.
5.
Close the oven door.
Special Caution for Aluminum Use on the Ceramic Cooktop:
• Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop will damage the ceramic
cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch
the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other
metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop.
If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break
or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that can break.
Read the following recommendations:
1.
Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.
2.
Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
3.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing
an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
