TO REMOVE:
1. Slide the tab the center front the oven bottom
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 the oven bottom fit into the slots in the
oven back.
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
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.
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.
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE
Adjusting Orifice Hoods
Check the inner cones of the flames. The inner
cone of the flames should be about 1/2” long. If the
flames are not right, use a l/2° open-end wrench or
adjustable joint pliers to adjust the orifice hood.
WARNING: If you attempt to measure the
inner cone of the flame, please use caution.
Burns could result.
To shorten the cones, tighten the orifice hood
by turning in the “LP” direction. To lengthen the
cones, loosen the orifice hood by turning in the
“Nat.” direction.
