52 MAINTENANCE
Oven Door
• Use soapy water to thoroughly clean the oven door.
Rinse well. Do not immerse the door in water.
• You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass
of the oven door. Do not spray water or glass
cleaner on the door vents.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or
harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of
the oven door.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door
gasket is made of a woven material that is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or remove this gasket.
CAUTION
Do not use harsh cleaners or harsh abrasive
cleaning materials on the outside of the oven
door. Doing so can cause damage.

Broiler Pan and Grid
• Do not store a soiled broiler pan or grid anywhere
in the range.
• Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-
cleaning mode.
• Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out
the grease from the pan into a proper container.
• Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water
with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
• If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with cleaner
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a
dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on
foods.
• Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner or in the dishwasher.
Oven Racks
Remove the oven racks before operating the self
clean cycle.
1
Food spilled into the tracks could cause the
racks to become stuck. Clean racks with a mild,
abrasive cleaner.
2
Rinse with clean water and dry.
NOTE
If the racks are cleaned using the self clean cycle
(not recommended), the color will turn slightly
blue and the finish will become dull. After the self
clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled,
rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a
cloth containing a small amount of vegetable oil.
This will make the racks glide more easily into the
rack tracks.
