CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable but it 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 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 hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR: (Do not immerse door in water.)

Inside of door:

Allow to cool before cleaning. For light soil, wipe frequently with mild soap and water (especially after cooking meat). This will prolong the time between major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly.

NOTE: Soap left on the oven door causes additional stains when the oven is reheated.

For heavy soil, you can use an oven cleaner (to avoid damage to continuous clean oven surfaces, remove the door of these models before spraying) and follow label instructions. Rinse well.

See “Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners” below.

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.

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 such as steel wool pads on the outside of the door.

Porcelain Oven Interior (on all models except Continuous-Cleaning models)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will retain its attractive finish for many years.

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

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

When necessary, you may use a commercial oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed.

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches (on some models) because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

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

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