Care and cleaning of the range.
Cleaning the Oven Bottom
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 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 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
steel wool pads or an oven cleaner
following package directions.
Removable Oven Bottom
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.
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.
