Care and cleaning of the oven.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
The oven door is removable for
cleaning.
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape on
new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent,
mineral oil or cooking oil.
Lift-Off Oven Door
To remove the door, open it to the broil stop
position. Grasp firmly on each side and
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the broil stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges and slowly lower it over
both hinges.
To clean the inside of the door:
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 tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Oven Shelves
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool.
Oven Light
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect
electrical power to the oven at the main
fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the outside oven
door and control panel. Clean these with
soap and water or a vinegar and water
solution.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect
the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from all
chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow
the package directions.
Clean the inside of the oven window
with a mild non-scratching cleaner and
a damp cloth.
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.
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.
After cleaning, rinse the shelves and rack
with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Let the bulb cool completely before
removing it. Replace the bulb with a 40-
watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch a
hot bulb with a damp cloth because the
bulb will break.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.
