Care & Cleaning

Cooktop Cleaning (cont’d)

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

•Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

•Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

•Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Use on the Ceramic Cooktop

•Aluminum foil-Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

•Aluminum utensils- The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If allowed to boil dry, not only will be utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

The oven door is heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift the oven door by

the handle.

IMPORTANT Most oven doors contain glass that can

break. Read the following recommendations:

•Do not close the oven door until all the interior oven racks are fully inserted and retracted to the back of the oven.

•Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object. The oven door glass may break or even break at a later time unexpectedly.

•Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the oven door glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.

•You may use a glass cleaner on the outside of the oven door glass. Do not spray or allow water or the cleaner to enter or drip down into the oven door vents. Spray cleaner on cloth first and then wipe the oven door clean.

•Do not use strong oven cleaners, powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door or glass.

•Never clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket should always clean during the Self-clean cycle.

To Remove Oven Door:

1.Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - See

Figure 1).

2.Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges down from the oven frame completely towards the oven door (See Figure 2). A tool such as a small flat- blade screwdriver may be required.

3.Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides

(Do not use the oven door handle - See Figure 3).

4.Close the door to the broil stop position (the oven door will stop into this position just before fully closing).

5.With the oven door in the broil stop position, lift the oven door hinge arms over the roller pins located on each side of the oven frame (See Figure 4).

To Replace Oven Door:

1.Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides

(Do not use the oven door handle - See Figure 3).

2.Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the hook of the hinge arm onto the roller pins located on each side of the oven door frame (See Fig. 4). Also, seat the notch of the hinge arm onto the bottom of the slot at the same time you seat the hook. The hook and notch of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the roller pins and bottom of the slot.
