Cleaning Products
Because of the many new cleaning products introduced in the
marketplace each year, it is not possible to list all products that
can be safely used to clean this appliance. Listed below are just
a few examples of recommended products.
READ THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS to be
sure the cleaner can be safely used on this appliance.
To determine if a cleaning product is safe, test a small incon-
spicuous area using a very light pressure to see if the surface
may scratch or discolor. This is particularly important for
porcelain enamel, highly polished, shiny, painted, or plastic
surfaces.
The following brands may help you to make an appropriate
selection:
•
Glass Cleaners - Cinch, Glass Plus, Windex. (Avoid glass
cleaners with ammonia on glass-ceramic cooking surfaces.)

keepers Friend, Cameo, Soft Scrub, Smart Cleanser. (Note:

Oven Door
CAUTIONS:
•
Do not place excessive weight on or stand on an
open oven door. This could cause the range to tip
over, break the door, or injure the user.
•
Do not attempt to open or close door or operate
oven until door is properly replaced.
•
Never place fingers between hinge and front oven
frame. Hinge arms are spring mounted. If acci-
dentally hit, the hinge will slam shut against oven
frame and could injure your fingers.
To remove:
1. When cool, open the oven door to the broil stop
position (opened about four inches).
2. Grasp door at each side. Do not use the door handle
to lift door.
3. Lift up evenly until door
clears hinge arms.
To replace:
1. Grasp door at each side.
2. Align slots in the door with
the hinge arms on the range.
3. Slide the door down onto the hinge arms until the door
is completely seated on the hinges. Push down on the
top corners of the door to completely seat door on
hinges. Door should not appear crooked.
NOTE: The oven door on a new range may feel
"spongy" when it is closed. This is normal and will
decrease with use.
Oven Window
To protect the oven door window:
1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel
wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they
may scratch the glass.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or
other objects.
3. Do not close the oven door until the oven racks are in
place.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may
weaken its structure causing an increased risk of break-
age at a later date.
