Porcelain oven bottom: Clean, when cool, with soap and water, non-abrasive plastic
pad or oven cleaner. Rinse with clear water. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven
bottom by (1) using large enough cookware to prevent boilovers; (2) place a piece of
aluminum foil, that is slightly larger than the cookware, on the lower rack. NEVER olace
foil directly on the oven bottom.
Protect oven bottom against acid spills (milk, cheese, tomato, lemon juice, etc.) or
sugary spilis (pie filling) as they may pit or discolor the oven bottom.
For easier cleaning, oven bottom can be removed and cleaned at the sink. Do not soak
or immerse oven bottom In water or place under running water.

oven is on. The oven must be used for
cleaning to take place. Higher oven
tejnperatures and longer baking times
speed the cleaning action.

sponges because the oven walls are porous and particles of these materials will rub off
on the walls. Rinse area with clean water only. Do not use any type of oven cleaner
cleanser or detergent on this surface. '

Clean oven interior with soap and water; rinse. Use cleansing powders or a plastic
scouring pad to remove stubborn soil. Wipe acid or sugar stains as soon as the oven is
cool as these stains may discolor or etch the porcelain. Do not use metallic scouring
pads as they will scratch the porcelain. To make cleaning easier, place 1/2 cup
household ammonia in a shallow glass and leave in a cold oven overnight. The am monia
fumes will help loosen the burned on grease and food. Oven cleaners can be used on the

thoroughly rinse oven cavity and capillary tube which is located at the top of the oven.'
