Care and Cleaning
LIFT-OFF SOFT-CLOSE OVEN DOOR
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:
1. Fully open the door.
2. 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.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
4. Close door to the door removal position,
(approximately 15 degrees from closed) and lift it up
and out until the hinge arm is clear of the slot.
CLEANING THE OVEN DOOR
Cleaning the Door Interior
Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in
the door .
Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass.
wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any
residue and dry off.
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
soap-filled plastic scouring pad. 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.

Removal
position
To replace the door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides
of the door at the top.
2. 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.
3. Fully open the door. If
the door will not fully
open, the indentation
is not seated correctly
in the bottom edge of
the slot.
4. Push the hinge locks
up against the front
frame of the oven cavity, to the locked position.
5. Close the oven door.
Cleaning the Door Exterior
If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Do not use this method on any other surface.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always
wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow
the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface. To inquire about purchasing cleaning products
including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see
the Consumer Support section for further information.
