Danby DER3009W installation instructions Care and Cleaning, Not Immerse Element in Water

CARE AND CLEANING

Coil Elements: The surface elements are self cleaning, burning off any spillage. However, removal of large pieces of food or excess oil is recommended to prevent smoking. To remove an element: Ensure it is cold, then raise the front (approximately 1” / 2.5cm) and pull it out of its receptacle. To replace, reverse this procedure. All elements of the same size are interchangeable. DO

NOT IMMERSE ELEMENT IN WATER

Control Panel and Knobs:

•Before cleaning the control panel be sure that the knobs are in the OFF position. Clean with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Remove residues and dry carefully; excess water in and around the controls may damage the stove.

•The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove, pull them straight off the stem. Clean with soft cloth and warm soapy water; rinse well.

•To replace knobs after cleaning, connect the flat side of the knob cavity to the control rod and press against the knob to reconnect.

Oven Racks:

•To make the racks slide more easily you may apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the racks with it.

Broiler Pan:

•Remove broiler pan from oven after broiling and carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container.

•Wash and rinse the broiler pan using hot water and a soap-filled scouring pad.

•If food has burned on, sprinkle with detergent

while it is hot and cover it with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on food.

•Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool pads or harsh abrasives on any surfaces. Vinegar and water solution may be used.

To Remove/Replace the Storage Drawer:

•Pull the drawer all the way out until it stops.

•Lift the drawer by its handle and pull all of the way out.

•To replace, reverse steps above.

Oven Surface:

•Be sure to wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.

•Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool pads, synthetic fiber pads, or any other materials that may damage the surface finishing.

•If any acid, grease, sugar, etc. spills on surfaces while they are hot, use a dry paper towl or soft cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, clean with soft cloth and warm soapy water; rinse well.

•You may also use a solution of vinegar and water to clean the oven surface. Use vinegar to remove hard stains (white stains).

•Heavy spattering or spillover may require cleaning with a mildly abrasive cleaner.

Oven Cavity:

•Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool pads, synthetic fiber pads, or any other materials that may damage the surface finishing.

•To clean the oven bottom, gently lift the bake

element. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

•Clean with warm soapy water; rinse and dry with a clean soft cloth.

Lift-Off Oven Door:

•The oven door is removable for cleaning. To remove:

•Open the door to the fully opened position.

•Pull up the lock located on both hinge supports and engage it in the hook of the hinge levers. You may have to apply a little downward pressure on the door to pull the lock fully over the hooks.

•Grasp the door by the sides; pull the bottom of the door up and toward you to disengage the hinge sup- ports. Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the range to completely disengage hinge levers.

To replace: reverse the process above.

Cleaning the Inner Door:

•Soap and water should suffice; Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mildly abrasive cleaner.

Cleaning the Outer Door:

•Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, bottom, sides, and front of the oven door; rinse well.

•Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
