Care and cleaning of the range.

Lift-Off Oven Door 

The door is very heavy. Be careful when 

removing and lifting the door. Do not lift door 

by the handle.

If improperly 

removed, oven 

door hinges may suddenly open and can 

cause personal injury to appendages near 

the hinge. Follow instructions below to 

avoid a risk of injury when removing and 

re-installing the oven door.

To remove the door:

  Fully open the oven door.
   On each hinge, slide the hinge lock up, 

making sure it snaps into its fully raised 

position.

   Firmly grasp both sides of the door at near 

the top.

   Close door until the top of the door is 

approximately 3” from the range frame.

   Lift door up and away from the range until 

both hinge arms are clear of the slots in 

the range frame.

To replace the door: 

   Firmly grasp both sides of the door near 

the top.

   With the door at the 

same angle as the 

removal position, rest 

the notch in the 

bottom of the left 

hinge arm on the 

bottom edge of the 

left hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm 

must be fully seated onto the bottom of 

the slot. Repeat for the right side.

   Fully open the door. If the door will not fully 

open, the notches in the bottoms of the 

hinge arms are not seated correctly onto 

the bottom edge of the slot. Lift the door 

off the range and repeat Step 2.

   Push the hinge 

locks down to 

the locked 

position

   Close the oven 

door.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil 

element. Any soil will burn off when the 

elements are heated. 

To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake 

element.  On some models, the bake element is 

not exposed and is under the oven floor. Clean 

with warm, soapy water.

Oven Racks

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an 

abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After cleaning, 

rinse the racks with clean water and dry with 

a clean cloth. Gray porcelain-coated oven 

racks may remain in the oven during the self-

cleaning cycle without being damaged. The 

shiny, silver-colored oven racks may remain in 

the oven during the self-cleaning cycle, but they 

will lose their luster and become hard to slide.
It will be necessary to grease all oven rack side 

edges with a light coating of vegetable oil after 

cleaning them by hand or in the oven. This will 

help maintain the ease of sliding the racks in 

and out of the oven.

Storage Drawer Removal

To remove the drawer:

   Pull the drawer out until it stops.
   Lift the front of the drawer until the stops 

clear the guides.

   Remove the drawer.

To replace the drawer:

   Place the drawer rails on the guides.
   Push the drawer back until it stops.
   Lift the front of the drawer and push back 

until the stops clear the guides.

   Lower the front of the drawer and push 

back until it closes.
