CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. Do not lift the door by the handle.
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.
•While working in the oven area, cover the hinges with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel on the frame.
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 at the same time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of door:
•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 milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
•If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions. Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
Outside of door:
•Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water run down through openings in the top of the 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.
Removable Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable material in the drawer.
Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened. To open the drawer, grasp the center of the handle and pull straight out.
The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range.
To remove: Pull the drawer straight out and lift over the guide stops.
To replace: Lift over the guide stops and slide the drawer into place.
To clean the inside and outside:
Wash with soap and water. Rinse well. Do not use cleansing powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the surface.
Oven Light Bulb
The light is located in the upper left corner of the oven. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the electrical outlet. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. Replace the bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth because the bulb will break.
