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.

Control Panel

It's a good idea to wipe the control
panel after each use. Clean with mild
soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft cloth.

Knob

(on some models)
The control knob (lower oven only) may be
removed for easier cleaning.
Before removing the knob for cleaning,
please note that the knob is in the OFF
position. When replacing the knob,
check the OFF position to insure proper
placement.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when
removing and lifting the door.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door:
Fully open the door.
Pull the hinge locks down toward
the door frame, to the unlocked
position. A tool, such as a small
flat-blade screwdriver, may be
required.
Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.
Close door to the door removal
position, which is halfway between
the broil stop position and fully
closed.
Lift door up and out until the hinge
arm is clear of the slot.
To replace the door:
Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.
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.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleaners on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
Wash the knob in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do
not soak.
The knob stem is D shaped. Install the
flat of the shaft to the flat of the knob.

not seated correctly in the bottom
edge of the slot.

front frame of the oven cavity, to the
