Care and CUeaning(continued)
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are
necessary for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion° Air openings are located at the
rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range, under
the kick panel, storage drawer or broiler drawer
(depending on the model),
Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven
or broiler compartment (depending on your model),
Remove the grid from the pan_ Carefully pour out
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 deter-
gent 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 can also be cleaned in
the dishwasher,
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in
the range.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable but it is heavy. You may
need help removing and replacing the door.
To remove the door, open it a few inches to the spe-
cial stop position that will hold the door open_ Grasp
firmly on each side and lift 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_
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
hinges snap back against the
oven frame, pull them back out,
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
(Do not immerse door in water_)
Inside of door:
• Allow to cool before cleaning° For light soil, wipe fre-
quently with mild soap and water (especially after
cooking meat). This will prolong the time between
major cleaning. Rinse thoroughly,
NOTE: Soap left on the oven door causes addi-
tional stains when the oven is reheated.
-For heavy soil, choose an oven cleaner (for
Continuous Cleaning oven, before applying commer-
cial oven cleaner, remove the oven door) and follow
label instructions. Rinse well
Outside of door:
o Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door° Rinse well. You may
also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the
outside of the door.
o 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.
oDo not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
ControR Pane0 and Knobs
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water, or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel--they will damage the finish° A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well,
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. To remove knob, pull it straight off the stem_
If knob is difficult to remove, place a towel or dishcloth
between the knob and control panel and pull gently
Wash the knobs in soap and water, or vinegar solu-
tion, but do not soak°
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water, Do
not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or com-
mercial oven cleaners, Dry with a soft cloth°
