Care and cleaning of the range.

Oven Shelves

Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive

cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,

rinse the shelves with clean water and dry

with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard
to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

To make the shelves slide more easily apply

a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking

oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of

the oven shelves with the paper towel.

(appearance may vary)

The gasket is designed with a gap at
the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door
gasket—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.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable for easier

access to the light bulb.
Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door,

open it to the broil

stop position. Grasp firmly on each side

and lift the door straight up and off

the hinges.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.

To replace the door,

make sure the hinges

are in the broil stop position. Position the

slots in the bottom of the door squarely

over the hinges and slowly lower it over

both hinges.

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

front frame can be cleaned with a soap-

filled steel wool or plastic 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.

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.

Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

(electric coil models only)

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but

breakable if misused. This finish is acid-

resistant. However, any acidic foods

spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or

vinegar) should not be permitted to

remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot,

use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it

up right away. When the surface has

cooled, wash with soap and water.

Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,

wash with soap and water or cleansing

powders after the surface has cooled.

Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
