Care and CReaning(continued)

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable to make the interior more accessible, if desired.

Note: The oven door is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door.

To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open.. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinge&

Note: Be careful not to place hands between the spring hinge and the oven frame as the hinge could

snap back and pinch yourJ fingers.

Wash with hot, soapy water. For stubborn spots, use a

solution of vinegar and water. Do not immerse the door in water.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the "out" position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time.

Oven Shelves

You may clean the oven shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser, following manufacturer's directions. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a dry cloth. To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you may use soapy metal pads, following manufacturer's directions. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.

Broiler Pan & Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack and carefully pour off the grease. Wash and rinse the broil- er pan and rack in hot, soapy water..

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dish cloth. That way, burned-on foods wilt soak loose while the meal is being served.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack in the oven.

Range Top Burners

The holes in the burners of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the burners routinely and especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these holes. Burners lift out for cleaning.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burner in a

solution of mild liquid

detergent and water.. Soak the burner for 20 to

30 minutes.. If the food doesn't rinse off com-

pletely, scrub it with soap and water and a brush or

plastic pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive

cleaners, because they will clog the burner openings and scratch the burners, If the holes become clogged, clean them with a toothpick.

Before putting the burner back, shake out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range, making sure it is properly seated and level..

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Removable Kick Panel

The kick panel may be removed for cleaning under the range.

To remove, lift up bottom of panel slightly to disen-

gage the panel from the tabs at the base of the

range_ Pull bottom of panel forward until spring clips are released at top of panel..

To replace, insert the two

slots at bottom of panel onto the two tabs at base

of range and push top of panel forward to engage spring clips.
