Care and cleaning of the range.
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.
Cleaning the Door
To clean the inside of the door:
■ Do not allow excess water to run into any
holes or slots in the door.
■ Wipe dish washing detergent over any baked
-on spatters on the glass. Use a single sided
safety razor blade to clean it off. Then wipe
over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove
any residue and dry off.
■ 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, fruitjuices, 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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
surface.
This will help you to maintain the brightness
and appearance of your stainless steel range.
■ In order to avoid any discolorations and/or
grease stains, we recommend cleaning and
removing any spills, spots and grease from
the range after use.
■ It is important to use a soft cloth or paper
towel every time the range is cleaned to
avoid any scratches.
Read carefully the instructions on the back of
the Brightener for better results.
