Cleaning the Appliance
What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of
metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear
through the oven vent, located on the top of the control panel.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is nor-
mal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colourless vapor.
To Remove and Replace the Oven Door
1. Open the door fully.
2. Pull up the lock located on both hinge supports and engage them in the hook of the hinge levers. You may have to apply
a little downward pressure on the door to pull the locks fully over the hooks.
3. Grab the door by the sides, pull the bottom of the door up and toward you to disengage the hinge supports.
Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the range to completely disen-
gage the hinge levers.
4. Proceed in reverse to re-install the door.
Make sure the hinge supports are fully engaged before unlocking the hinge levers.
