Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel
it from the appliance surface. Do not use any
sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the
film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive from packaging tape on new
appliances is an application of a household
liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft
cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

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.
Cleaning the Upper and Lower Oven Doors
To clean the inside of the doors:
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 door
liner 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 doors:
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.
