Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable, but it is
heavy. You may need help removing and
replacing the door.
To remove the door:
Open the door to the full open
position.
Pull the hinge locks up over the
hinge hooks on both sides. You may
need to use a flat-blade screwdriver
to lift hinge locks up.
Grasp the door firmly on each side,
lift slightly and pull it straight out
and away from the oven.
To replace the door:
Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.
Insert and seat the upper and lower
hinge arms into the oven slots.
Push the hinge locks down from the
hinge hooks.
Close the oven door and make sure
it is working properly. If it is not
working properly, remove and
replace it following the above steps.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR
UNTIL THIS STEP IS COMPLETE. THE
HINGE OR DOOR COULD BE DAMAGED.
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.
Outside of door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the
oven. 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.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.

Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven. Remove the grid from the
pan. Carefully pour out grease from the
pan into a proper container. Wash and
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot
water with a soap-filled or plastic
scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid
with detergent while hot and cover with
wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking
the pan will remove burned on foods.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the range.
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.
