Oven door

To clean the inside of the door:

•Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.

•The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

•Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

•If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

•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, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—

it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or

if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Removable oven floor

To remove the oven floor:

1Remove the oven door using the instructions in the Lift-Off Oven Door section of this manual.

2Press down and pull out the removable oven floor.

3Clean the oven floor with warm soapy water.

4When re-installing the oven floor be sure to slide it all the way to the back of the oven.

CAUTION: Always replace the removable floor before the next use.

Oven heating elements

Do not clean the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the element is heated.

The bake element is not exposed and is under the removable oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate on the removable oven floor, wipe up before self-cleaning.

To clean the bake element area, take out the removable floor (see the Removable Oven Floor section) and gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water. Always replace the removable floor before next use.

Control panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
