wiped up, it may discolor the porcelain.
To make cleaning easier, remove the oven door, if desired. (See Maintenance section, below.)

Oven Door
CAUTIONS:
• 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.
To replace:
1. Grasp door at each side.
2. Align slots in the door with the hinge
arms on the range.
3. Slide the door down onto the hinge
arms until the door is completely
seated on the hinges. Push down on
the top corners of the door to com-
pletely seat door on hinges. Door
should not appear crooked.
NOTE: 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 hit the glass with pots, pans,
furniture, toys, or other objects.
2. Do not close the oven door until the
oven racks are in place.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing
the glass may weaken its structure caus-
ing an increased risk of breakage at a later
date.
