CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
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.
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.
• 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
of the door squarely over the hinges at the same time.
If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of door:
• Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used. 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.
• If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions. Do not use oven
cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives
on the outside of the door.
Outside of 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 the surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Removable Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware
and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable
material in the drawer.
Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is
too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened. To
open the drawer, grasp the center of the handle and
pull straight out.
The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning
under the range.
To remove: Pull the drawer straight out and lift over
the guide stops.
To replace: Lift over
the guide stops and
slide the drawer into
place.
To clean the inside
and outside:
Wash with soap and
water. Rinse well.
Do not use cleansing
powders or harsh
abrasives which may
scratch the surface.
Oven Light Bulb
The light is located in the upper left corner of the
oven. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical
power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker
panel or unplug the range from the electrical outlet.
Let the bulb cool completely before removing it.
Replace the bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.
Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth because the
bulb will break.
