Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use

place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.

hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.
The oven vent is located below the backguard vent
shield on your range.
