Note; The oven door is heavy. You may need help
removing and replacing 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.
Note: Be careful not to
place hands between the
spring hinge and the oven
frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch your
fingers.
Wash with hot, soapy water. For stubborn spots, use a
solution of vinegar and water. Do not immerse the
door in water.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the
"out” 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.
Oven Shelves
You may clean the oven shelves with a mild abrasive
cleanser, following manufacturer’s directions. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry
with a dry cloth. To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you
may use soapy metal pads, following manufacturer’s
directions. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water,
rinse and dry.
Broiler Pan 8t Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack and
carefully pour off the grease. Wash and rinse the broil­
er pan and rack in hot, soapy water.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dish
cloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while
the meal is being served.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack in the oven.
Range Top Burners
The holes in the burners of your range must be kept
clean at all times for proper ignition and an even,
unhampered flame.
You should dean the burners routinely and especially
after bad spillovers, which could clog these holes.
Burners lift out for deaning.
To remove burned-on
food, soak the burner in a
solution of mild liquid
detergent and water.
Soak the burner for 20 to
30 minutes. If the food
doesn’t rinse off com­
pletely, scrub it with soap
and water and a brush or
plastic pad. Do not use
steel wool or abrasive
cleaners, because they will clog the burner openings
and scratch the burners. If the holes become dogged,
clean them with a toothpick.
Before putting the burner back, shake out excess
water and then dry it thoroughly by setting if in a warm
oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range,
making sure it is properly seated and levei,
