Cleaning the 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. This is
particularly important when baking a
fruit pie or other foods with high acid
content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that
are acidic in content, such as 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.
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. You
can clean the bottom with soap and
water, a mild abrasive cleanser, soap-filled
scouring pads or an oven cleaner
following package directions.
Removable Oven Bottom
First remove the shelves from the oven.
The oven bottom lifts from the front.
To remove:
On models so equipped, remove
the knurled screw in the front of the
oven bottom.
Grasp each side of the oven bottom
and push it back.
Lift the front up and pull it out of
the oven.
To replace:
Grasp each side of the oven bottom
and guide its rear tabs into the slots
in the back of the oven.
Lower the oven bottom and pull it
forward until it is secure under the
front oven floor edge.
On models so equipped, replace the
knurled screw in the front of the
oven bottom.
NOTE: If the oven bottom is replaced incorrectly, it
may warp and cause undesirable baking results.
Broiler Compartment
The broiler pan is held in place in the
broiler rack.
To remove the broiler pan:
Gently pull forward on the drop
down broiler door.
Pull the broiler rack with pan
forward until the rack stops. Grasp
the broiler pan and remove it from
the broiler rack.
To replace the broiler pan:
Slide the broiler pan onto the rack
and push both the broiler pan and
the rack all the way into the broiler
compartment.
Close the broiler door.
If a spillover occurs in the broiler
compartment, allow the compartment to
cool first. You can clean the compartment
with soap and water, a mild abrasive
cleanser, soap-filled scouring pads or an
oven cleaner following package
directions.
