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).
BroiDer Pan and Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven
or broiler compartment (depending on your model).
Remove the rack from the pan. Carefully pour out
grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash
and rinse the broiler pan and rack in hot water with a
soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack 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 rack can also be cleaned in
the dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack 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.
