Do not clean the door gasket. The
fiberglass material of the oven
door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you
notice it becoming worn, frayed or
displaced on the door, it should be
replaced
The door gasket is designed to have
a 5-6" gap at the bottom of the door.
This allows for proper air circulation.
Door Panel Gasket
Door{iner
It is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good
seat against the range, This is due to
the gasket. The location of the gasket
on the oven door maintains a good
seal and prevents any heat loss.
_ tensils should never
be left in the oven
during a self-clean
cycle.
The oven racks may be
cleaned during the
self-clean cycle, but will
lose their luster and become
hard to slide, If you choose
to leave them in during the
cycle, wiping them down
with vegetable oil after the
cycle will help them slide
easier.
For the first clean cycle,
vent the room with an
opened window or hood
vent. This will reduce the
odor when heating new
parts.
