General Care & Cleaning (confd)
To Raise the Top for Cleaning
1
A rod swings up to support
the top for cleaning under­
neath.
Grasp the sides and lift from the front. A lift-up rod will support the top in its raised
position. Only lift the top high enough to allow the support rod to rest in place under the
front of the cooktop.
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.
3. To lower the top, lift the top slightly and lower the rod. Lower the range top down into the
range frame.
When lowering the lift-up range top, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be
careful not to pinch fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the range top when raising or lowering. This
could damage the surface.

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the
appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning section

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat
with the inside of the door facing down.
To Remove Oven Door:
1. Open the door to the fully opened position.
2. Pull up the lock located on both hinge supports and engage it in the hinge
lever hooks (Figure 1). You may have to apply a little downward pressure on
the door to pull the locks fully over the hinge lever hooks.
3. Grab the door by the sides and pull the bottom of the door up and toward you
to disengage the hinge supports. Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward
you while rotating the top of the door toward the range to completely disen­
gage the hinge levers (Figure 2).
4. To clean oven door, follow the instructions provided in the General Care &
Cleaning table.
To Replace Oven Door:
1. Grab the door by the sides; place the hinge supports in the hinge slots. Open
the door to the fully opened position.
2. Disengage the lock from the hinge lever hooks on both sides (Figure 3).
Note: Make sure the hinge supports are fully engaged before unlocking the
hinge levers.
3. Close the oven door.
Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that
can break.
Read the following recommendations:
1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure
causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
