Oven Door

The oven door is removable but it
is heavy. You may need help
removing and replacing the door.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
This can cause the glass to break
or damage to the door.
To remove the
door, open
it a
few inches to
the special stop
position that
-
will hold the
door open,
Grasp
on each side and lift the door
straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE: Be careful not to place
hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will
retain its attractive finish for many years.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet pads may also be
used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause dull spots even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job
easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan
and leave in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
When necessary, you may use a commercial oven
cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Oven Air Vents

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range.
They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary
for the range to operate properly with correct
combustion.
To replace the door, make sure
the hinges are in the special stop
position. Position the slots in the
bottom of the door squarely over
the hinges. Then lower the door
slowly and evenly over both
hinges at the same time. If hinges
snap back against the oven frame,
pull them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
(Do not immerse the door in water.)
Inside of door:
Allow to cool before cleaning.
For light soil, wipe frequently
with mild soap and water
(especially after cooking meat).
This will prolong the time
between major cleaning.
Rinse thoroughly.
NOTE: Soa~ left on the oven
door causes'additional s~ins
when the oven is reheated.
(on all models except Continuous-Cleaning models)
For heavy soil, choose m oven
cleaner (for Continuous Cleaning
oven, before applying commercial
oven cleaner, remove the oven
door) and follow label
instructions. Rinse well.
Outside of door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of
the oven door. Rinse well. You
may also use a glass cleaner to
clean the glass on the outside of
the door.
Spillage of marinades, fruit
juices, tomato sauces and basting
materials containing acids may
cause discoloration and should be
wiped up immediately. When
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners,
cleansing powders or harsh
abrasives on the outside of
the door.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls
and switches (on some models) because it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to remain on
the temperature sensing bulb—it could cause the
oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located at the
rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after
each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
bulb as a change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes.
door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
Air openings are located
at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range, under the kick panel, storage drawer or
broiler drawer (depending on the model).
