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.

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.
