Care and cleaning of the oven.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable for easier
access to the light bulb.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door, open it to the broil
stop position. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the broil stop position. Position
the slots in the bottom of the door
squarely over the hinges and slowly lower
it over both 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.
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.
Door
(on the lower oven or on standard clean model) Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or
pie filling) to remain on the surface.
They may cause a dull spot even
after cleaning.
To clean the inside of the door:
■
Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads
may also be used.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
■
Clean the inside of the oven window
with a mild non-scratching cleaner and
a damp cloth.
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.
■
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.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do
not use any sharp items to remove the
film. Remove all of the film before using
the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging
tape on new appliances is an application
of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and
allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
