Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. 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.

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. 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.
NOTES:
■
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 inside of the door:
■
Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the 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 soap-filled plastic
scouring pad.
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.
■
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.
■
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap at
the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
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.
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface
in the direction of the grain. Follow the
cleaner instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.
