Removable Oven Door
The oven door is removable to
make cleaning the oven easier.
To remove the door, open it a few
inches to the special stop position
that will hold
door
Grasp
firmly on each side and lift the door
straight up and off the hinges. (Due
to the large amount of insulation
and the construction of the door, it
is heavy.)
Note: Be careful not to place hands
between the spring hinge and the
oven door frame. The hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
Wash with hot, soapy water. For
stubborn spots, use a solution of
ammonia and water. Do not
immerse the door in water.
To replace the door, position slots
in bottom of door over the hinges
that are in the “out” position. Then
lower the door slowly and evenly
over both hinges at the same time.
If hinges snap back against the oven
frame, pull them back out.
Model RGJ616GEH also has a
removable broiler compartment
door which may be removed for
cleaning.
Removable Oven Bottom
The raised section of the oven
bottom is removable for cleaning.
Take it out of the oven and you can
apply effective cleaners to clean
up excessive spillovers or remove
baked-on soil—cleaners that should
never be used near the special
porous ceramic oven interior.
To remove the oven bottom:
1. Remove the oven shelves.
2. Lift upward on shelf supports.
Swing bottom of supports toward
center of oven and remove.
3. Remove the two knurled
down screws at each front corner.
If screws are too tight to remove by
hand, use a screwdriver.
4. Place your fingers in the slots in
the bottom and lift up the front
edge of the oven bottom until it is
clear of the oven front frame.

5. Pull the bottom forward and out
of the oven, keeping the rear of the
oven bottom gliding on the bottom
of the lowest shelf glide. This keeps
it from catching on the burner igniter
shield. To replace the bottom, just
reverse this procedure, making sure
the two tabs on the rear of the oven
bottom go into the slots at the rear.
The oven bottom has a porcelain
enamel finish. To make cleaning
easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers. This is
particularly important when baking
a fruit pie or other foods with high
acid content. Hot fruit fillings or
foods that are acid in content such
as milk, tomato or sauerkraut, and
sauces with vinegar or lemon
juice, may cause pitting and damage
to the porcelain enamel surface.
To protect the oven bottom surface,
place a piece of aluminum foil
slightly larger than the baking dish
or
cookie sheet on a lower
rack or under the baking dish to
catch any
It should not
completely cover the rack as this
would cause uneven heat in the
oven. Aluminum foil should not
be placed on the oven bottom.
If a spillover does occur on the
oven bottom, allow the oven to cool
first. You can clean the bottom with
soap and water, a mild abrasive
cleanser, soap-filled abrasive pads,
or caustic oven cleaner following
manufacturer’s directions.
When applying oven cleaner,
be careful not to get it on the
countertop, floor,
cleaning oven parts or any other
surface.
Note: Porcelain oven door liner and
oven bottom may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner. They
must be removed and cleaned away
from the oven to prevent damage to
the continuous-cleaning oven liner.
