Care and Maintenance
OVEN DOOR REMOVAL:
In the event the oven door comes off track, or becomes misaligned,
realignment can be achieved by following this simple procedure:
Open the door and hold it all the way open. Close the hinge
latches. (see illustration) Once both hinges are locked, gently lift the
door up and partially out until the door is aligned evenly. Evenly
slide the door back into place and check to assure the hinges rest
in the center of each door hinge roller.With the oven door fully
open, unlock hinge latches and the door is ready to close again.
CLEANING OF THE PORCELAIN INTERIOR
Be sure the ovens are cool before you start to clean them.The interior is porcelain enamel and is acid
resistant, but not acid proof.Therefore, acid foods, such as vinegar, rhubarb, alcohol, citric juices or milk,
should be wiped clean and not allowed to bake on even in the
Clean mode.
Try mild cleaners, such as: Bon-Ami
®
, ammonia, ammonia and
water, or Soft Scrub
®
.Apply the powders on a damp sponge
or cloth. Rub lightly. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If food has
burned onto the oven and is difficult to remove, soak these
spots by placing a cloth saturated with household ammonia
directly on the soiled area and allow it to saturate for an
hour or two, with the door closed. Afterwards, the food soil
should be easy to remove with a damp soapy cloth or mild
abrasive.
Take special care when cleaning the door top. Do not use
anything abrasive enough to scratch the surface and do not let
water or cleaners run down into the vent holes. If water or cleaners spill into
the vents they may streak the glass inside the door.
For stubborn stains, a soap filled plastic or non-metal pad can be used.The occasional use of abrasive
cleaners is okay, if used too often or vigorously they can eventually harm the enamel. Dampen the pad,
rub the surface lightly, rinse thoroughly and dry.
Do not use Oven Cleaners (such as Easy OFF
®
or Dow
®
) on the oven interiors. Commercial oven
cleaners are not recommended.
OVEN RACKS
We do not recommend leaving the oven racks in during the self clean, as the high temperature will
destroy the chrome finish and make the racks difficult to roll in and out.
Chrome cleaners, such as Soft Scrub
®
, Cameo
®
or Bar Keepers Friend
®
can be applied with a damp
sponge following package directions. Rinse and dry. Powdered cleaners such as Bon-Ami
®
or Comet
®
are applied with a damp sponge or cloth, rubbed lightly, rinsed and dried. For hard to remove food soil
use a dampened soap filled non-metal pad, rinsed and dried.
