IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip
device supplied.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip
device WB2X7909.

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer and inspect
the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when
you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over
and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.

WARNING

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

■ Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified installer in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.

■ Have the installer show you the location of

the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.

■ Before performing any service, disconnect

the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.

■ Do not leave children alone—children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They
could damage the range and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.

■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven

or near the cooktop.

■

CAUTION:

Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a range
or on the back of a range—children climbing
on the range to reach items could be seriously
injured.

■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units or
heating elements and may cause severe burns.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units or heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of pot holders.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit
by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flame in the oven can be smothered

completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi­purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

■ Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the surface units,
areas nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,

areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door.

■

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean

to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

■ Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■ Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.

■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the
center of the range without extending over
nearby surface units.

■ Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

■ When preparing flaming foods under the

hood, turn the fan on.

■ Use care when touching the cooktop.

The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.

■ Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.

■ Use little fat for effective shallow or deep

fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.

■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating, or
as fats melt slowly.

■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.

■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The

cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry,
and rivets on clothing.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or

cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■ Do not operate the radiant surface units if the

glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass
cooktop become broken.

■ Never use the glass cooktop surface as a

cutting board.

■ Do not place or store items that can melt or

catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.

■ Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring

utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use.
They may become hot and could cause burns.

■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

NOTE:

We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar
spills are the exception to this. Please see the

Cleaning the glass cooktop

section.

■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the

CERAMA BRYTE®Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner
and the CERAMA BRYTE Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.

■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel

to remove all cleaning cream residue.

■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings

on the cleaning cream labels.

■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic

may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to remove.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Place the oven rack in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact the
heating elements.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■ Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items

stored in an oven can ignite.

■ Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the oven when not in use.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.

Improper installation of aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

WARNING!

OVEN

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket

is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny,

silver-colored oven racks (on some models)
and all other cookware.

■ Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some

models) may be cleaned in the oven during
the self-clean cycle.

■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-cleaning operation.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn

the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

SELF-CLEANING UPPER OVEN

■ The purpose of the WARM setting of the lower

oven drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. Always start with hot food;
cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the
WARM setting of the lower oven drawer.

■ Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food or combustible materials in the drawer.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or

near your drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more than

two hours.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

■

Do not touch the heating element or the interior
surface of the drawer.

These surfaces may be

hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the drawer

may be hot when the drawer is opened.

■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open the

drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food. Hot air or
steam which escapes can cause burns to hands,
face and/or eyes.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator
and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset
the performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.

temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:

■

The pan boils dry.

■

The pan bottom is not flat.

■

The pan is off center.

■

There is no pan on the unit.

About the radiant surface units.

NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.

About the radiant surface units

The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.

Cooktop temperatures increase with
the number of surface units that are
on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface
temperatures are high. Always use
caution when touching the cooktop.

An indicator light will come on when the
surface unit is turned on.

The appropriate

HOT SURFACE

indicator
light will glow when its corresponding
radiant element is turned on and will
remain on until the surface has cooled
below 150°F.

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

■

Come on when the surface unit is
turned on.

■

Stay on even after the unit is turned off.

■

Glow brightly until the unit has cooled
below 150°F.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
overcooking, remove pans from the
surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface
unit until it has cooled completely.

■

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.

■

Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent
film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will
remove this discoloration.

■

Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.

■

Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, as it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are not
recommended.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball®and
Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
Use of water bath canners with rippled
bottoms may extend the time required to
bring the water to a boil.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This will take
approximately 10–15 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1″ to 11⁄2″ of air space around it.

If baking four cake layers at the same time,
place two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is
not directly above the other.

Type of Food Rack Position

Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) D
Angel food cake A
Bundt or pound cakes B or C
Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C or D

cookies, cupcakes,
layer cakes, pies

Casseroles C or D
Turkey A

Before you begin…

The racks have stops, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop
before coming completely out, and will
not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.

On some models, the bake heating
element is under the oven floor. Do not
place foods on the oven bottom for
cooking.

To remove a rack,

pull it toward you,

tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace,

place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.

CAUTION:

When you are using a
rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to
use caution when pulling the rack out. We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand in
the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be
very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

The oven has 6 rack positions.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Broiling

Leave the door open to the broil stop position.
The door stays open by itself, yet the proper
temperature is maintained in the oven.

Place the meat or fish on a broiler
grid in a broiler pan designed
for broiling.

Follow suggested rack positions in
the

Broiling Guide.

Touch the

BROIL HI/LO

pad once for

HI Broil.

To change to

LO Broil,

touch the

BROIL HI/LO

pad again.

Use

LO Broil

to cook foods such as
poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly
without over-browning them.

Touch the

START

pad.

When broiling is finished, touch the

CLEAR/OFF

pad.

NOTE: Broil and self-clean settings will not work
if the temperature probe is plugged in.

The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature
and your preference
of doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide
is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.

† The U.S. Department of Agriculture

says “Rare beef is popular, but you
should know that cooking it to only
140°F means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source:

If your range is connected to 208 volts,
rare steaks may be broiled by preheating
the broiler and positioning the oven rack
one position higher.

Adjust the upper oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling, convection or
self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the
fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Introduction

Convection Fan Operation

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over,
under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are
evenly cooked and browned—often in less time
with convection heat.

NOTE:

To maximize cooking evenness,
the fan is designed to rotate in both
directions, with a pause in between.
This is normal.

The convection fan shuts off when the
oven door is opened.

DO NOT

leave the
door open for long periods of time while
using convection cooking or you may
shorten the life of the convection heating
element.

■

In convection bake modes, for maximum cooking
evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in
both directions, with a pause in between.
This is normal.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking, but should not
be used at temperatures higher than
the temperature recommended by the
cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware

that is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.

■

Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.

■

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air
cannot circulate well around food
in a pan with high sides.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

When baking cookies, you will get
the best results if you use a flat
cookie sheet instead of a pan with
low sides.

Using the convection oven. (on some models)

Convection Roast

■

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Cleaning

The oven door must be closed and all controls
set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Touch the

SELF CLEAN STD/LO

pad
once for a 4-hour clean time or
twice for a 3-hour clean time.

A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills.
A self-clean time of 4 hours or
longer is recommended for
a dirtier oven.

If a time other than 4 hours or
3 hours is needed, use the number
pads and enter the desired
clean time.

You can change the clean time to any
time between 2

1

⁄2 hours and 5 hours,

depending on how dirty your oven is.

Touch the

START

pad.

The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the

LOCKED

light

goes off.

When the

LOCKED

light goes off, you will

be able to open the door.

■ The word

27

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.

Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, probe,
all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.

NOTE:

■ If your oven is equipped with shiny,

silver-colored oven racks, remove them
before you begin the self-clean cycle.

■ If your oven is equipped with gray

porcelain-coated oven racks, they
may be left in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.

The shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(on some models) can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide.

Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse
well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the
oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT:

The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well­ventilated room.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do not
use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the
appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging tape
on new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the

OFF

positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the inside
of the knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the

OFF

position to

ensure proper placement.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located above the right rear
surface unit.

This area could become hot during
oven use.

It is normal for steam to come out of
the vent.

The vent is important for proper air circulation.
Never block this vent.

Control Panel

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated
before cleaning.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

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.

Lift-Off 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:

Fully open the door.

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.

Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.

Close door to the door removal
position, which is halfway between
the broil stop position and fully
closed.

Lift door up and out until the hinge
arm is clear of the slot.

To replace the door:

Firmly grasp both sides of the door
at the top.

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.

Fully open the door. If the door will
not fully open, the indentation is not
seated correctly in the bottom edge
of the slot.

Push the hinge locks up against the
front frame of the oven cavity to the
locked position.

Close the oven door.

Cleaning the Oven Door

To clean the inside of the door:

■ Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand.

■ The area outside the gasket and

the door liner can be cleaned with
a soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad,
hot water and detergent. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ 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. Do not let
water drip into the vent openings.

■ If any stain on the door vent trim is

persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

■ 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, cleaning

powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.

Oven Racks

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand
with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray
porcelain-coated oven racks may remain
in the oven during the self-cleaning
cycle without being damaged. The shiny,
silver-colored oven racks may remain in
the oven during the self-cleaning cycle,
but they will lose their luster and become
hard to slide.

It will be necessary to grease all oven
rack side edges with a light coating of
vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand
or in the oven. This will help maintain
the ease of sliding the racks in and out
of the oven.

ge.com

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.
