Removable Oven Bottom
The oven bottom can be removed to clean large
spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner.
To remove:
Slide the tab at the center front of
the oven bottom to the left.
Lift the oven bottom up and out.
To replace:
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.
Lower the front of the oven bottom
into place and slide the front tab to
the right to lock the oven bottom
into place.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
oven. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the oven to operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located under the control
panel, above the door.
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 screwdriver to loosen
the air shutter screw. Then adjust the air
shutter and, when the flames are right,
retighten the air shutter screw.
To adjust the orifice hoods, check the
inner cone of the flame.
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 a high acid content.
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are
highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut,
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice)
may cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain enamel surface and should be
wiped up immediately.
We don't recommend using aluminum
foil on the oven bottom. It can affect air
flow if the holes are blocked and it can
concentrate heat at the bottom of the oven,
resulting in poor baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scrubbing
pad. Rinse well.
WARNING: If you attempt to measure the
inner cone of the flame, please use caution.
Burns could result.
The inner cone of the flames should be
about 1/2 long. If the flames are not right,
use a 1/2 open-end wrench or adjustable
joint pliers to adjust the orifice hood.
To shorten the cones, tighten the orifice
hood by turning in the LP direction.
To lengthen the cones, loosen the orifice
hood by turning in the Nat direction.
NOTE: When checking the flames, before
and after adjustments, the oven door should
be closed.
