Grasp firmly on each side and liftthe door straight up and off the hinges.NOTE: Be careful not to place hands betweenthe hinge and the oven door frame sincethe hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.To replace the door, make sure the hingesare in the special stop position. Positionthe slots in the bottom of the door squarelyover the hinges. Then lower the door slowlyand evenly over both hinges at the sametime. If the hinges snap back againstthe oven frame, pull them back out.To clean the inside of the door:n Do not allow excess water to run intoany holes or slots in the door.n Because the area inside the gasket iscleaned during the self-clean cycle, youdo not need to clean this by hand. Anysoap left on the liner causes additionalstains when the oven is heated.n The area outside the gasket can becleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.To clean the outside of the door:n Use soap and water to thoroughly cleanthe top, sides and front of the oven door.Rinse well.

When thesurface is cool, clean and rinse.n Do not use oven cleaners, cleansingpowders or harsh abrasives on theoutside of the door.Oven BottomThe oven bottom has a porcelain-enamelfinish. To make cleaning easier, protectthe oven bottom from excessive spillovers byplacing a cookie sheet on the rack below therack you are cooking on. This is particularlyimportant when baking a fruit pie or otherfoods with a high acid content. Hot fruitfillings or other foods that are highly acidic(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauceswith vinegar or lemon juice) may causepitting and damage to the porcelain-enamelsurface and should be wiped up immediately.We don’t recommend using aluminum foilon the oven bottom. It can affect airflow if theholes are blocked and it can concentrate heatat the bottom of the oven, resulting in poorbaking performance.To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouringpad. Rinse well to remove any soap beforeself-cleaning.Lift the door straight up and offthe hinges.The gasket is designed with a gapat the bottom to allow for properair circulation.Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance toabrasion.If you notice the gasket becoming worn,frayed or damaged in any way or if ithas become displaced on the door,you should have it replaced.30OperatingInstructions Safety InstructionsCare and CleaningInstallationInstructionsTroubleshootingTipsConsumer Support
