Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but

it is heavy.You may need help removing and replacing the door. Do not lift the door by the handle.

This can cause the glass to break (on some models) or cause damage to 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 hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

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. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

If the oven door is crooked, push down on the high corner to straighten it.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:

Inside of door:

•Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

•If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

•Clean the inside of the oven window with a mild non- scratching cleaner and a damp cloth.

Outside of 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. To avoid water marks inside the glass front, 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, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Care and Cleaning

Porcelain Oven Interior

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of

the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door— will stay new-looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that

you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.

Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

•Do not spray on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

•Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

•Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
