CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is
removable,  
but it is
heavy. You may need help
removing and replacing
the 
door. 
Do not lift the
door by the handle. This
can 
 the glass to
break or can cause
damage   the door.
To remove the door,
open it a few inches to the special stop position that
will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side
and     the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE:
● 
Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and
the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back
and pinch fingers.
● 
While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or 
 paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel
on the frame.
To replace the door,  make sure the hinges are in the
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If 
 snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of tbe door:
● 
Because the area inside 
 gasket is cleaned during
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
● 
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
scouring pad.
● 
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results.   you
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged
in any way or if it has become displaced on 
 door,
you should have it replaced.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
 
Gasket
Outside Gasket
Outside of the door:
● 
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. 
may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the
outside of the door.
● 
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, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
