Removable Oven Bottom
Broiler Drawer
The broiler pan is held in place by a wire broiler rack.
To open the broiler, gently lift up and pull forward on
the drop down broiler door. Pull the broiler pan
forward. It will reach a temporary stop position.
Continue to pull forward and the broiler pan will pull
out to expose the entire broiler grill surface. Remove
the broiler pan from the broiler rack by lifting up on
the front of the broiler pan so it will clear the wire
rack. Then pull forward slightly and use both hands to
lift the pan free of the rack. To return the pan to the
broiler rack, pull the wire rack out to the stop
position. Insert the pan into the recessed section of the
broiler rack. Slide the pan in place under the pan
retainers. Push the pan to the rear of the broiler
compartment. Close the broiler door.

First remove the shelves from the oven. The oven
bottom lifts from the rear. Grasp each side of the oven
bottom and lift upward from the rear until the bottom
is clear—lift it to remove from the front.
NOTE: If the oven bottom is replaced incorrectly,
it may warp and cause undesirable baking results.

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 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. You can clean the bottom
with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser, soap-
filled abrasive pads or an oven cleaner following
package directions.
