Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled
(such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should
not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use
a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right
away. When the surface has cooled, wash with
soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash
with soap and water or cleansing powders
after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish
with a dry cloth.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You
may need help removing and replacing the
door.
To remove the door:
Open the door to the full open position.
Pull the hinge locks up over the hinge
hooks on both sides.
Grasp the door firmly on each side, lift
slightly and pull it straight out and away
from the oven.
To replace the door:
Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the
top.
Insert and seat the upper and lower hinge
arms into the oven slots.
Push the hinge locks down from the hinge
hooks.
Close the oven door and make sure it is
working properly. If it is not working
properly, remove and replace it following
the above steps.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR
UNTIL THIS STEP IS COMPLETE. THE HINGE
OR DOOR COULD BE DAMAGED.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean
the oven floor. Do not attempt to clean any
oven surface when any burner element is
on. Always wear protective hand-wear when
cleaning interior oven surfaces or surfaces near
heating elements. If spillovers, residue or ash
accumulate around the bake element, gently
wipe around the element with warm water.

Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be
lifted up and propped open.
Be sure all surface units are turned off before
raising the cooktop.
Remove the front surface and drip pans. See
the Surface Units and Drip Pans section. Grasp
the two front surface unit wells and lift the
cooktop up and prop it open with the prop rod
provided.
After cleaning underneath the cooktop with
hot, soapy water and a clean cloth, hold the
cooktop up, return the prop rod to its storage
position and lower the cooktop until it snaps
into position. Be careful not to pinch your
fingers. Replace the two front drip pans and
surface units. See the Surface Units and Drip
Pans section.
