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 acid in content such as milk, tomato 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 on the shelf below to catch any boilovers. 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. Remove the oven bottom for easier cleanup and to prevent damage to the continuous cleaning oven coating.
Frequent wipings with mild soap and water (particularly after cooking meat) will prolong the time between major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly. Soap left on the oven bottom can cause stains.
For heavy soil, use a mild abrasive cleaner and follow label instructions, using a thin layer of cleaner. Use of rubber gloves is recommended. Wipe or rub lightly on stubborn spots. A commercial oven cleaner may also be used, following package directions.
