Care and cleaning of the range. 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. Cleaning the Oven Door To clean the inside of the door: n Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. n The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. To clean the outside of the door: n 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. n If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. n 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. n Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door. Slot Hinge lock Pull hinge locks down to unlock.
