Protect the porcelain enamel oven bottom by (1) using _arge enough cookware to prevent
boilovers; (2) placing a piece of aluminum foil, that is slightly larger than the cookware, on
the lower rack. NEVER place foif directly on the oven bottom as foil may melt onto oven
bottom. Protect oven bottom against acid spills (milk, cheese, tomato, _emon juice, etc.) or
sugary spills (pie filling) as they may pit or discolor the oven bottom. See porcelain enamel
for additional information,

tf racks become difficult to slide, a thin coat of
vegetable oil on the underside of the rack will make s{iding easier.

abrasive
or caustic liquid or powdered

cleaner from clogging ports, Burner must be dry before use, NOTE: Yellow tipping or
distortion of the flame may occur until the burner is completely dry.
Clean burner ports with a straight pin or small metal paper clip. Do not enlarge or distort
ports, Do not use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog port. If ports are clogged
or soiled, the burner may not light properly or the flame may not be even.
