and Cleaning
(coo o°o )
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 it a few inches to the special
stop position
that will hold the door open° Grasp
firmly on each side and lift the door straight
up and
off the hinges°
NOTE:
Be careful not to place hands
between
the
hinge and the oven door flame
as the hinge could
snap
back and pinch fingers.
i
To replace the door, make sure
the hinges
are in the special stop
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,
pub them back out°

THE
DOOR:
(Do not immerse
door in water°)
Inside
of door:
o Allow
to cool before cleaning.
For light soil, wipe
frequently
with mild soap and water (especially
after
cooldng
meat). This will prolong
the time between
major cleanings.
Rinse thoioughly.
NOTE:
Soap left on the oven door causes
additional
stains
when
the oven is reheated.
• For heavy soil, you can use an oven cleaner (to avoid
damage
to continuous
clean oven surfaces, remove the
door of these models before spraying)
and follow label
instructions.
Rinse well.
See "Cautions
about using spray-on
oven cleaners"
below.
Outside
of door:
• Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides
and front
of the oven door. Rinse welto You may also
use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door.
• 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 such as steel wool pads on the
outside
of the door.
Porcelain Oven interior
(on all models
except
continuous
cleaning
models)
With
proper
care, the porcelain
enamel
interior
will
retain
its attractive
finish for many years,
Soap and water will normally do the job° Heavy
spattering
or spil!overs
may require
cleaning
with a
mild
abrasive
cleanser.
Soap-filled
steel wool
pads
may also be used. Do not allow
food spills with
a
high sugar
or acid content
(such as tomatoes,
sauerlcrant,
fruit juices or pie filling) to remain
on the
surface.
They
may cause dull spots even after cleaning.
Household
ammonia
may make the cleaning
job easier.
Place
1/2 cup
(125 mI)
ammonia
in a
shallow glass
pan and leave in a cold oven
overnight. The
ammonia
fumes will help loosen
the burned-on
grease and food.
When
necessary,
you may use a commercial
oven
cleaner.
Follow
the package
directions.
Cautions
about
using
spray-on
oven cleaners:
• Be careful where
the oven cleaner is sprayed.
• Do not spray oven cleaner
on the electrical
controls
and switches
(on some models)
because
it could
cause a short circuit
and result in sparking
or fire.
• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to remain
on
the temperature sensing bulb--it could cause the
oven to heat improperly,
(The bulb is located
at the
rear of the oven°) Carefi.flly wipe the bulb clean after
each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the
bulb as a change
in its position
could affect how the
oven bakes°
• Do not spray any oven cleaner
on the outside
oven
door, handles
or any exterior
surface
of the oven,
cabinets
or painted
surfaces.
The cleaner
can d_mage
these surfaces.
