Lift-Off Oven Door
Most normal oven cleaning can be done without
removing the oven door. The door is heavy. You
may need help removing and replacing it. Do not
lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass
to break or can cause damage to the door.
To remove the door:
1.
Open the door all the way.
2.
Pull up the lock on
both hinge supports.
Secure each lock in
the hook of the hinge
lever. You may have to
press down on the door
a bit to pull the locks
completely over the hooks.
3.
Hold the door by the
sides. Pull the bottom
of the door up and
toward you to release
it from the hinges.
Keep pulling the
bottom of the door
toward you while
pushing the top of the
door toward the range.
Pull the door free of
the hinges.
To replace the door:
1.
Position the door slots squarely over both hinges to
replace it. Make sure the hinge supports are completely
in position before unlocking the hinge levers.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of door:
(not on self-cleaning models)
•
Clean the inside of the oven window with a mild
non-scratching cleaner and a damp cloth.
• Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar
or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut,
fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface.
They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
• If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner (not on
self-cleaning models).
Follow the package directions.
Outside of door:
•
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water
run down through openings in the top of the 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 the surface is cool, clean and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives such as steel wool pads on the
outside of the door.
Porcelain Oven Interior
(JCS57—left side storage compartment only; JCP67—left oven only)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the
inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and
inside of the door—will stay new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend
that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job
easier.
Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery
container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
CAUTIONS about using
spray-on oven cleaners:
• Do not
spray on the electrical controls and switches
because it could cause a short circuit and result in
sparking or fire.
• Do not
allow a film from the cleaner to build up
on the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven
to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top
of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after
each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
sensor as a change in its position could affect how
the oven bakes.
• Do not
spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,
handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.
