Oven Interior
Self-Clean:
Follow instructions on page 4-5 to set a self-clean cycle.
Manual Clean:
Clean frequently using mild abrasive cleaners and a
plastic pad.
Do not use metallic scouring pads because they will
scratch the surface.
When using commercial oven cleaners follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Wipe up acidic spills (tomato or milk based foods) as soon
as possible with soap and water. If the spill is not wiped
up, it may discolor the porcelain. To make cleaning easier,
remove the oven door if desired. (See Maintenance
section below.)
Oven Racks
Clean with soapy water.
Remove stubborn soil with cleansing powder or soap-
filled scouring pad. Rinse and dry.
Racks will permanently discolor and may not slide out
smoothly if left in the oven during a self-clean operation.
If this occurs, wipe the rack and embossed rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease
of movement, then wipe off excess oil.
Maintenance
CAUTION
Oven Door
Do not place excessive weight on or stand on an open
oven door. This could cause the range to tip over, break
the door, or injure the user.
Do not attempt to open or close door or operate oven until
door is properly replaced.
Never place fingers between hinge and front oven frame.
Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the
hinge will slam shut against oven frame and could injure
your fingers.
To remove:
1. When cool, open the oven door to
the first stop position (opened
about four inches).
2. Grasp door at each side. Do not
use the door handle to lift door.
3. Lift up evenly until door clears
hinge arms.

Important: The oven door on a new range may feel “spongy”
when it is closed. This is normal and will decrease with use.
Oven Window
To protect the oven door window:
1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool
scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch
the glass.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or
other objects.
3. Do not close the oven door until the oven racks are in
place.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its
structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later date.
