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

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 the 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 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 of the door:
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.
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.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
