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 oven door by the handle. This can cause the glass to break or can cause damage to the door.
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. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both 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:
•Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.
•The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a scouring pad.
•Do not rub or clean 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 surface is cool, clean and rinse.
•Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
