Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Shelves
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry
with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard
to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
To make the shelves slide more easily apply
a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking
oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of
the oven shelves with the paper towel.
(appearance may vary)
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.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable for easier
access to the light bulb.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door,
open it to the broil
stop position. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.
To replace the door,
make sure the hinges
are in the broil stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges and slowly lower it over
both hinges.
To clean the 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.
The area outside the gasket and the
front frame can be cleaned with a soap-
filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot
water and detergent. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution.
To clean the 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. Do not let water
drip into the vent openings.
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, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
(electric coil models only)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot,
use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it
up right away. When the surface has
cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
