General Care & Cleaning
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.
Removable External Door Glass Panel
Applicable only to models with an external glass panel not held with a frame. This design allows you to clean the inside
face of the exterior door panel as well as the hidden face of the door inner glass.
To Remove the External Door Glass Panel:
1. Remove the door as explained above and lay the door flat.
2. Using a screwdriver, remove the 5 screws fastening.
3. Grasp both sides of the glass panel and slowly pull it out of the door upper molding. Lay the glass flat.
To Replace the External Door Glass Panel:
1. Grasp the sides of the glass panel and carefully insert the glass into the door top moulding.
2. Replace the 5 locking screws.
3. Replace the door onto the range.
Handle the glass panel with care. When dropped on a corner, the glass panel
may shatter. This can cause several personal injury.
Porcelain Enamel Oven Cleaning
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners can be
used on all interior oven surfaces.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven
door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a
clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use
an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT mix ammonia with other
cleaners.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short
circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb located
at the top left rear corner of the oven; it could cause the oven to heat improperly.
Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position
could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, wood or
painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
The bake element is designed to be gently tilted using your hand from the front of the bake element. This allow easier access
to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following oven cleaner
manufacturer's instructions.
DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil
will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
