FEATURE OVERVIEW

• Care & Cleaning of Stainless Steel
• Removing & Replacing Oven Door
DO not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some
nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven
cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
1) Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils
The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the
utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing or marking
may affect the ceramic glass surface.
Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the
inside of the door facing down.
To Remove Oven Door:
1. Open the door to the fully opened position.
2. Pull up the lock located on both hinge supports and engage it in the hinge levers (Fig.
1). 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 disengage the hinge levers (Fig. 2).
4. To clean oven door, follow the instructions provided in the General Care & Cleaning
table.
