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. This can cause the glass to
break or can cause damage to the door.
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. Then lower the
door 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 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 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.
• 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.
