Care and cleaning of the oven.
Probe
The temperature probe may be cleaned with
soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad.
Cool the temperature probe before cleaning.
Scour stubborn spots with a soap-filled
scouring pad, rinse and dry.
■
Do not immerse the temperature probe
in water.
■
Do not store the temperature probe
in the oven.
The door is very heavy. Be careful when
removing and lifting the door.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door:
Fully open the door.
Pull the hinge locks down toward
the door frame, to the unlocked position. A
tool, such as a small flat-blade screwdriver,
may be required.
Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the
top.
Close door to the door removal position
(see illustration).
Lift door up and out until the hinge arm is
clear of the slot.
To replace the door:
Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the
top.
With the door at
the same angle
as the removal
position, seat
the indentation of the
hinge arm into the
bottom edge of the
hinge slot. The notch
in the hinge arm must
be fully seated into the bottom of the slot.
Fully open the door. If the door
will not fully open, the indentation is not
seated correctly in the bottom edge of the
slot.
Push the hinge locks up against the front
frame of the oven cavity, to the locked
position.
Close the oven door.

it has an extremely low resistance to
abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it
has become displaced on the door, you
should have it replaced.
To clean the inside of the door:
■
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do
not need to clean this by hand.
■
The area outside the gasket and
the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-
filled or plastic scouring pad,
hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution.
To clean the outside of the door:
■
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the
top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may also use a glass cleaner to
clean the glass
on the outside of the door. Do not let water
drip into the vent openings.
■
If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a
sponge-scrubber for best results.
■
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, cleaning powders
or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
