Oven Shelves

Shelves can be cleaned by hand using soap and water or witi an abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry. To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you may use scouring pads. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.

Shelves may also be cleaned in self-cleaning oven, but will discolor and lose some luster. See the Self- Cleaning section.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You can ‘use aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole shelf. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately. Take care not to touch hot portion of oven.

If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow

,/.the oven to cool first. You can then clean the oven bottom with soap and water, an abrasive cleanser or scouring pads.

●Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.

Broiler Pan and Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from the oven. Remove the rack from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a proper container.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while the meal is being served.

Wash; scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler pan and rack may also be cleaned in a dishwasher. Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack anywhere in the range.

Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven.
