Maintenance
Oven Doors
CAUTION
•Do not place excessive weight on or stand on open oven doors. This could cause the range to tip over, break the doors, or injure the user.
•Do not attempt to open or close doors or operate oven until doors are properly replaced.
•Never place fingers between hinge and front oven frame. Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the hinge will slam shut against oven frame and could injure your fingers.
Both the upper and lower oven doors are removable.
To remove:
1.When cool, open the oven door to the broil stop position (opened about four inches).
2.Grasp door at each side. Do not use the door handle to lift door.
3.Lift up evenly until door clears hinge arms.
To replace:
1.Grasp door at each side.
2.Align slots in the door with the hinge arms on the range.
3.Slide the door down onto the hinge arms until the door is completely seated on the hinges. Push down on the top corners of the door to completely seat door on hinges. Door should not appear crooked.
Important: The oven door on a new range may feel “spongy” when it is closed. This is normal and will decrease with use.
Oven Windows
To protect the oven door windows:
1.Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch the glass.
2.Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or other objects.
3.Do not close an oven door until the oven racks are in place.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later date.
Upper and Lower Oven Lights
CAUTION
•Disconnect power to oven before replacing light bulb.
•Allow oven to cool before replacing light bulb.
•Make sure bulb cover and bulb are cool before touching.
To assure the proper replacement bulb is used, order bulb from Maytag. Call
To replace oven light bulbs:
1.Disconnect power to the range.
