Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the
rack you are cooking on. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces
with vinegar or lemonjuice) may cause pitting
and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface
and should be wiped up immediately.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an
abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad.
Rinse well to remove any soap before self­
cleaning.
Lift-Off Oven Door ion some models)
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:
\J\ 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,
which is halfway between the broil stop
position and fully closed.
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.
~j] 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.
Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an
abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a
clean cloth. Gray porcelain-coated oven racks
may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning
cycle without being damaged. The nickel-plated
oven racks may remain in the oven during the
self-cleaning cycle, but they will lose their luster
and become hard to slide. It will be necessary
to grease all oven rack side edges with a light
coating of vegetable oil after cleaning them by
hand or in the oven. This will help maintain the
ease of sliding the racks in and out of the oven.
