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.

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.

Care and cleaning of the cooking center.

The door is very heavy. Be careful when
removing and lifting the door.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door:

Fully open the door.

Pull the hinge locks down toward
the door frame, to the unlocked
position. A tool, such as a small flat-
blade screwdriver, may be required.

Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.

Close door to the door removal
position (see illustration).

Lift door up and out until the hinge
arm is clear of the slot.

To replace the door:

Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.

With the
door at the
same angle as
the removal
position, seat the
indentation of
the hinge arm
into the bottom
edge of the hinge slot. The notch in
the hinge arm must be fully seated
into the bottom of the slot.

Fully open the door. If the door will
not fully open, the indentation is
not seated correctly in the bottom
edge of the slot.

Push the hinge locks up against the
front frame of the oven cavity, to the
locked position.

Close the oven door.
