CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
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 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 spring hinge
could snap back and pinch your fingers.
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.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
(Do not immerse door in water.)
Inside of door:
●
Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during
the self clean cycle, you not need to clean this by
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
●
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
scouring pad.
●
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. 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.

Outside of 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, 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, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
