Maintenance

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 accidentally
hit, the hinge will slam shut against
oven frame and cause injury.
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.
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 nor-
mal 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 breakage at a later date.
Leveling Legs
CAUTION:
•
Be sure the anti-tip bracket secures
one of the rear leveling legs to the
floor to prevent the range from
accidentally tipping.
The range should be lev-
eled when installed. If the
range is not level, turn the
plastic leveling legs, lo-
cated at each corner
of the range, un-
til range is
level.
