 Oven Bottom

The oven bottom can be removed to make
cleaning easier.

To remove:

1. 

Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

2. Lift front edge of the oven bottom enough to raise

the tabs from slots in the front frame.

3. Push the oven bottom back about 1/4” to release the

 from the front frame, then pull out.

To replace the oven bottom:

1. Slide the oven bottom into the oven so rear tabs fit

into slots in the rear wall of the oven.

2. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots and push it

back and then down to hook the flange under the
front frame.

3. Fit the 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 

 This is particularly

important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with

 acid content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are

 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 

 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 

 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 

 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.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the control panel and drawer
front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution. Do not use commercial oven
cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.
