~ift-Off
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 can
cause
damage to the door.
To
remove the door,
I
open it a few inches to the special stop position that
will
hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side
and
lift
the
door
strtiight
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.
While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers
and
chipping the porcelain
enamel
on the frame.
To
replace the door,
make sure the hinges are in the
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom
the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the
or
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:
Inside of the door:
Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by
hand. Any soap left on the
liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
soap-filled scouring pad.
Do not rub
or
clean
the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely
low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,
you should have it replaced.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to
allow
for proper air circulation.

Outside Gasket
Outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front
of the oven door. DO NOT let water
run down through openings in the top
of
the 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.
