CAUTION
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage,
lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing
down. Do not use the appliance without the
internal glass panel.
The oven door has three glass panels. You can
remove the oven door to clean it.
To remove the oven door:
1. Open the door fully, horizontal with the floor,
and hold the two door hinges (Figure 28).
2. Lift and turn/pull the levers on both of the
door hinge locks down from the oven frame
completely towards the oven door (Figure 29).
A tool such as a small flat-blade screwdriver
may be required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along
the door sides. Do not use the oven door
handle. Close the oven door halfway to the
first opening position. Then, pull forward and
remove the door from its seat (Figure 30).
4. Put the door on a soft cloth on a stable surface
(Figure 31).
5. Clean the glass panel with water and soap. Dry
the glass panel carefully.
IMPORTANT
Clean the oven door with a wet sponge only. Dry
it with a soft cloth. Do not use steel wool, acids
or abrasive materials as they can damage the
oven surface. Clean the oven control panel with
the same precautions.
Special door care instructions - Most oven doors
contain glass that can break. Do not close the
oven door until all the oven racks are fully in
place. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or
any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or
stressing the glass may weaken its structure
causing an increased risk of breakage at a later
time.
