Care and cleaning of the range.
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.

at the bottomto allow for proper
air circulation.

it hasan extremelylow resistance to

you shouldhave it replaced.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy.
You may need help removing and replacing
the door.
To remove the door, open it a few inches
to the special stop position that will hold the
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift
the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE:Be careful not to place hands between
the hinge and the oven door frame since
the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
1 are in the special stop position. Position
the slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly
and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If the hinges snap back against
the oven frame, pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:
Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door.
Becausethe area insidethe gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,you
do not need to clean this by hand. Any
soup left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
iii,The area outside the gasket can be
cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.
To clean the outside of the door:
iii, Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinsewell. You may also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door.
iii,Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and busting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
iii_Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier,protect
the oven bottom from excessivespillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the
rack you are cooking on. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces
with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel
surface and should be wiped up immediately.
We don't recommend using aluminum foil
on the oven bottom. It can affect airflow if the
holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat
at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor
baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring
pad. Rinsewell to remove any soap before
self-cleaning.
