Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when
the elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake
element. Clean with warm soapy water.
Lift-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. Make sure
the oven is completely cool.
To remove the door, 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 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.
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 the hinges snap back against the oven
frame, pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:
n Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door.
n 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.
n The area outside the gasket can
be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic
scouring pad.
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 a dull spot
even after cleaning.
To clean the outside of the door:
n 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.
n Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When the
surface is cool, clean and rinse.
n Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the outside
of the door.
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper
air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
it has an extremely low resistance
to abrasion.
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.
