Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Shelves
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or scouring pad. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and
dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE:
The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard
to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
To make the shelves slide more easily,
apply a small amount of vegetable oil
or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe
the edges of the oven shelves with the
paper towel.
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.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The door is very heavy. Be careful when
removing and lifting the door.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door:
Fully open the door.
Pull the hinge locks down toward
the door frame, to the unlocked
position. A tool, such as a small
flat-blade screwdriver, may be
required.
Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.
Close door to the door removal
position, which is halfway between
the broil stop position and fully
closed.
Lift door up and out until the hinge
arm is clear of the slot.
To replace the door:
Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.
With the
door at the
same angle as
the removal
position, seat the
indentation of
the hinge arm
into the bottom
edge of the hinge slot. The notch in
the hinge arm must be fully seated
into the bottom of the slot.
Fully open the door. If the door will
not fully open, the indentation is not
seated correctly in the bottom edge
of the slot.
Push the hinge locks up against the
front frame of the oven cavity to the
locked position.
Close the oven door.

Cleaning the Oven Door
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 steel wool or plastic 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.
