Just like the video above.

Patty, I took pictures, as I know that's how you communicate.

It all went as she explained. The screws took a very small torx drive. When the two half's come apart the back half is mildly spring loaded. Not a big deal but just be ready when you remove the second screw since you are reducing the weight by half.

Before



My glass is now cleaner than when the range was delivered. Before it had dust between the two sets of glass. It's not necessary but it is helpful to have a second pair of hands putting the two half's back together when getting the screws started which have spacers on them.

After



I bought a bottle of the Grease Lightning and was amazed how well it worked. Great stuff for a few bucks.

Bottom line, easy job for anyone to do.

Send him over my house. We can have target practice together.

Come clean my stove, Dave! It looks great. Is the oven self cleaning? Was there no issue with any seals/gaskets on the door?

You don't want to use Grease Lightning on a continuious self cleaning oven (see I did read the label), which our's is not. Not sure why as long as it doesn't come on while you are cleaning. Avoid cleaning the seals - I only did a light wipe with water. Avoid soaking anything, especially the insulation, with water or any liquid. In other words, take your time, very little water, etc. But I had a real mess, most don't. I used the GL on just oven solid parts where grease forms. For most, it's simple cleaning the glass -- no big deal. I used Invisible Glass cleaner (a car guy's cleaner) but any will work.

If you get out of Zumba in time, check in we me and mom at the kitchen workshop!

If you do a good job of cleaning yours you can use Donna's new line "Unless you want me to get it dirty, we should go out to eat."
