Placing the oven bottom

The oven bottom in your new range has been screwed in to prevent any shifting during moving or cooking. The oven bottom protects the recessed bake burner area during baking or broiling.

It is necessary to remove the oven bottom for routine cleaning. The oven bottom, burner baffle, and bake burner recess will need to be cleaned of any excess grease or soil before a self-clean cycle is started.
