Care and cleaning of the range (cont.).
(appearance may vary)
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.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable for cleaning.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door,
open it to the special
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 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:
■
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 or plastic pad, hot
water and detergent. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution.
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.
Removable Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is a good place to store
cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics
and flammable material in the drawer.
Do not overload the storage drawer. If the
drawer is too heavy, it may slip off the
track when opened. To open the drawer,
grasp the center of the handle and pull
straight out.
To remove:
Pull the drawer straight out and lift over
the guide stops.
To replace:
Lift over the guide stops and slide the
drawer into place.
To clean both the inside and the outside:
Wipe with soap and water. Rinse well.
Do not use cleansing powders or harsh
abrasives which may scratch the surface.
The storage drawer may be
removed for cleaning under the
range.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides and the
drawer front.
Clean these with soap and water or a
vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.
