CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Removable Oven Bottom
The oven bottom can be removed to clean large
spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner.
Oven bottom must be replaced before using the
self-clean cycle.
TO REMOVE:
1. Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom
to the left.
2. Lift the oven bottom up and out.
TO REPLACE:
1. Slip the oven bottom into the oven so the tabs in
the rear of the oven bottom fit into the slots in the
oven back.
2. Lower the front of the oven bottom into place and
slide the front tab to the right to lock the oven
bottom into place.
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
acidic (such as milk, tomatoes 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
or a small cookie sheet on a lower shelf or under the
baking dish to catch any spillovers. 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 oven
bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser
or soap-filled abrasive pads. Rinse well to remove any
soap before self-cleaning.

The oven
shelves may
be cleaned
with a mild
abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse
the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose
their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf
supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make
the shelves slide more easily.
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and
water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a
soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers
on the control panel—they will damage the finish.
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
