Oven Shelves
Shelves can be cleaned by hand using soap and water or
witi
an abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the
shelves with clean water and dry. To remove heavy,
burned-on soil, you may use scouring pads. After
scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Shelves may also be cleaned in self-cleaning oven,
but will discolor and lose some luster. See the Self-
Cleaning section.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive
spillovers
by placing a cookie sheet on
the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You can
‘use aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole shelf.
This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie
or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as
milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar
or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up
immediately. Take care not to touch hot portion of oven.
If a
spillover
does occur on the oven bottom,
allow
,/.
the oven to cool first. You can then clean the oven
bottom with soap and water, an abrasive cleanser or
scouring pads.

Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.
Broiler Pan and Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack
from the oven. Remove the rack from the pan.
Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a
proper container.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a
dishcloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose
while the meal is being served.
Wash; scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler
pan and rack may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack anywhere
in the range.
Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven.
