Porcelain Oven Interior

Safety

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 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.

■Do not spray oven cleaner 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.

Removal position

Lift-Off Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door.

To remove the door:

Fully open the door.

Pull the hinge locks down toward the door frame, to the unlocked position. A tool, such as a small flat-blade screwdriver, may be required.

Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top. Do not lift the door by the handle.

Close door to the door removal position, which is halfway between the broil stop position and fully closed.

Lift door up and out until the hinge arm is clear of the slot.

To replace the door:

Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top. Do not lift the door by the

handle.

With the door at the

same angle as the removal position, seat the notch stop of the hinge arm

into the bottom

edge of the hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of the slot.

Fully open the door until it is parallel to the floor. If the door will not fully open, the notch stop is not seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot. Repeat step 2 if necessary.

Push the hinge locks up against the front frame of the oven cavity to the locked position.
