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 locks. (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
ensure the hinges rest in the center of each door hinge roller. With the oven
door fully open, unlock hinge locks and the door is ready to close again.
CLEANING 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, rinse and dry.
Harsh Cleaners which are commercial oven cleaners, such as Easy Off® or Dow® can be used on the racks, but are
not recommended for use on the oven interiors. Additionally, some commercial oven cleaners cause darkening
and discoloration. Test the cleaner on a small part of the rack and check for any discoloration before cleaning the
entire rack. Apply and allow to stand according to the manufacture’s instructions. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
