Instructions Operating Instructions Care

Cleaning the 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. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are acidic in content, such as 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.

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. You can clean the bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser, soap-filled scouring pads or an oven cleaner following package directions.
