2. Lift front edge of oven bottom enough to raise tabs
from slots in front frame.
3. Push oven bottom back about 1/4” to release flange
from front frame, then pull out.
To replace the oven bottom:
1. Slide oven bottom into oven so rear tabs
fit
into
slots in rear wall of oven.
2. Grasp oven bottom at finger slots and push it
back and then down to hook the flange under the
front frame.
3. Fit front tabs into slots in front frame.
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with
high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are
acid in content such as milk, tomato or sauerkraut,
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice, may cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a
piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking
dish on the shelf below to catch any
boilovers.
It
should not completely cover the shelf as this would
cause uneven heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should
not be placed on the oven bottom.
If a
spillover
does occur on the oven bottom,
allow the oven to cool first. Remove the oven bottom
for easier cleanup and to prevent damage to the
continuous cleaning oven coating.
Frequent
wipings
with mild soap and water
(particularly after cooking meat) will prolong the
time between major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly. Soap
left on the oven bottom can cause stains.
For heavy soil, use a mild abrasive cleaner and
follow label instructions, using a thin layer of cleaner.
Use of rubber gloves is recommended. Wipe or rub
lightly on stubborn spots. A commercial oven cleaner
may also be used, following package directions.
