CARE & CLEANING
For models that have a visible lower bake element
ONLY - This bake element was designed to be tilted up
using your hand from the front of the bake element for
cleaning purposes. Remove the bottom oven rack before
raising the element. Do not to raise the element more than
4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
The oven door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the
oven door flat with the inside of the door facing down.
Removing and replacing the lift-off oven door
CAUTION
To remove oven door
1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor-Fig. 1).
2. Remove 2 screws located on the inside of the oven door
liner (See A Fig. 2).
3. Insert the 2 screws into the door hinge holes located on
the side of the hinge arm, one into each hinge (See B
Fig. 2).
4. Close oven door until the door stops, (do not force the
door to close any further). The placement of these
screws should keep door open in about a 45 degree
position.
5. Grasp oven door firmly on both sides and slide door up
and off hinges at the same angle (See Fig. 3).
6. To clean oven door, follow the instructions provided
listed in the cleaning chart under “oven door”.
To replace oven door
1. Be sure the hinge arms remain at the 45 degree angle
position. Be sure the screws are still locking the hinge
arms from moving. If the screws fall out of the hinge
holes, the hinge(s) may snap back against the oven frame
and could pinch fingers or chip the porcelain finish on the
oven front frame.
2. Hold door at the sides near the top while resting the
lower front of door on your knee. Insert the door
channels at the bottom of door over the door hinges,
(See Fig. 3).
3. Allow the door to slide down into the door hinges evenly
at the same 45 degree angle. The hinge arms should be
inserted into the bottom corners as far as they can go.
4. Open door completely (horizontal with floor) and remove
both screws from holes in door hinges.
5. Reinstall the 2 screws into the door liner (See C Fig. 2).
6. If the door is not in alignment with the oven frame,
remove door and repeat the above steps.
Special door care instructions - Most oven doors
contain glass that can break. Read the following
recommendations:
•
Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully
in place.
• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
• Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may
weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage
at a later time.
