care and
Cleaning (continued)
Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop
often. Built-up soil, especially
grease, may catch fire.
To make cleaning easier, the entire
cooktop may be lifted up and
supported by locking arms that
catch and hold the top when it’s all
the way up.
Be sure all burners are turned off
before raising the cooktop.
Then,
remove the
grates and drip pans,
grasp the front sides of the cooktop
and lift.
After cleaning under the cooktop
with hot, mild soapy water and a
clean cloth, put the cooktop back in
place. Lift up a little to release the
locking arms and push them in
while guiding the top back down.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
Removable
Lower Oven Door
The oven door is removable to
make the interior more accessible
for replacement of the lamp bulb.
Open the oven door fully and
remove the two Phillips screws that
hold the door to the hinges. Then
close the door to the automatic stop
position (at about 3 inches open),
and lift the door straight up and off
the hinges. (Due to the large amount
of insulation and the construction
of the door, it is heavy.)
Note: Be careful not to place hands
between the spring hinge and the
oven door frame. The hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the
hinges are in the “out” 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. When
the door is in position, open it fully
and insert the two Phillips screws.
NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPI
TO REMOVE THE UPPER
OVEN DOOR.
Oven Shelves
Oven shelves may be cleaned with a
mild abrasive cleanser following
manufacturer’s directions. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean
cloth. To remove heavy, burned-on
soil, soapy metal pads may be used
following manufacturer’s directions.
After scrubbing, wash with soapy
water, rinse and dry.
Removable Upper Oven
Shelf Supports
Shelf supports in the upper oven
are removable for cleaning outside
the continuous-cleaning oven.
Remove the oven shelf. Then lift
upward on the shelf supports;
swing the bottoms of the supports
toward the center of the oven; and
take them out. Clean the supports
in the same manner as you clean
the shelves.
Broiler Pan & Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler
rack and carefully pour off the
grease. Wash and rinse the pan and
rack in hot, soapy water.
If food has burned on, sprinkle
the broiler rack while hot with
detergent and cover with wet paper
towels or a dish cloth. Burned-on
foods will then soak loose while
the meal is being served.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan
and rack in the oven. Never attempt
to clean them in the oven during the
self-cleaning cycle.
