Care and cleaning of the range.
The oven door is removable for cleaning.
Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure the
oven is completely cool.
To remove the door,
open it to the special
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 special 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. Soap-filled, steel-wool pads
may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
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.
The gasket is designed with a gap at
the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand.
The area outside the gasket and the
front frame can be cleaned with a
soap-filled steel-wool pad, hot water
and detergent. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution.
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.
