Care and cleaning of the oven.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap at
the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
it has an extremely low resistance to
abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any way
or if it has become displaced on the
door, you should have it replaced.

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
The oven door is removable for easier
access to the light bulb.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
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 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.
Oven Shelves
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry
with a clean cloth.
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.
To clean the inside of the door:
(on self-cleaning ovens)
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand.
The area outside the gasket and the
front frame can be cleaned with a soap-
filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot
water and detergent. Rinse well with
a vinegar and water solution.
To clean the inside of the door:
(on standard clean ovens)
Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled steel wool 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.
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.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard
to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
You can wipe the shelf supports with cooking
oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide
more easily.
