tion, wipe up fat, grease or acid (tomato,
lemon, vinegar, milk, fruit juice, mari-
nade) immediately with a dry paper towel.

MAINTENANCE

OVEN DOOR

CAUTION:
Do not place excessive weight on
or stand on an open oven door.
This could cause the range to tip
over, break the door, or injure the
user.
Do not attempt to open or close
door or operate oven until door is
properly replaced.
Never place fingers between hinge
and front oven frame. Hinge arms
are spring mounted. If accidentally
hit, the hinge will slam shut against
oven frame and could injure your
fingers.
TO REMOVE:
1. When cool, open the oven door to the
broil stop position (opened about four
inches).
2. Grasp door at each side. Do not use
the door handle to lift door.
3. Lift up even-
ly until door
clears hinge
arms.
TO REPLACE:
1. Grasp door
at each side.
2. Align slots in the door with the hinge
arms on the range.
3. Slide the door down onto the hinge
arms until the door is completely seat-
ed on the hinges. Push down on the
top corners of the door to completely
seat door on hinges. Door should not
appear crooked.
NOTE: The oven door on a new range
may feel "spongy" when it is closed. This
is normal and will decrease with use.

OVEN WINDOW

TO PROTECT THE OVEN DOOR
WINDOW:
1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents
such as steel wool scouring pads or
powdered cleansers as they may
scratch the glass.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans,
furniture, toys, or other objects.
3. Do not close the oven door until the
oven racks are in place.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the
glass may weaken its structure causing
an increased risk of breakage at a later
date.
