UnlockLock

TO REMOVE:

1.Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom to the left.

2.Lift the oven bottom up and out.

TO REPLACE:

1.Slip the oven bottom into the oven so the tabs in the rear of the oven bottom fit into the slots in the oven back.

2.Lower the front of the oven bottom into place and slide the front tab to the right to lock the oven bottom into place.

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 (such as milk, 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 or a small cookie sheet on a lower shelf or under the baking dish to catch any spillovers. 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 oven bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser or soap-filled abrasive pads. Rinse well.

MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE

Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters

Air adjustment shutters for the burner regulate the flow of air to the flames.

To adjust the air shutter, remove the oven bottom. Turn the burner full on and check the flames. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. They should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but this will soon disappear. If the flames are yellow or flutter, open the air shutter more. If they blow away from the burner, close the air shutter more.

If necessary, use a	Loosen
screwdriver to
loosen the air shutter
screw. Then adjust	Air Adjustment
the air shutter and,	Shutter
when the flames are
right, retighten the
air shutter screw.

To adjust the orifice hoods, check the inner cone of the flame.

WARNING: If you attempt to measure the inner cone of the flame, please use caution. Burns could result.

The inner cone of the		Inner cone
	1/2″	of flame

When checking the flames, before and after adjustments, the oven door should be closed.
