The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
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 the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:■Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the 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 the surface is cool, clean and rinse.
■Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Installation Instructions
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or
