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 a
high acid content. Hot fruit fillings
or other foods that are highly acidic
(such as milk, tomatoes or
sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar
and damage to the porcelain enamel
finish.
To protect the oven bottom finish,
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 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 oven bottom
with soap and water, a mild abrasive
cleanser, soap-filled abrasive pads
or caustic oven cleaner, following
the manufacturer's directions.

Porcelain Oven Interior

(on all models except RGB628GEN)
With proper care, the porcelain
enamel interior will retain its
attractive finish for many years.
so
Soap and water will normally
do the job. Heavy spattering or
spillovers may require cleaning
with a mild abrasive cleanser.
Soapy, wet pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie tilling) to remain on the
surface. They may cause dull spots
even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup
ammonia in a shallow glass and
leave in a cold oven overnight. The
ammonia fumes will help loosen
the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use a caustic
cleaner. Follow the package
directions.
Cautions about using
spray-on oven cleaners:
Be careful where the oven cleaner
is sprayed.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the
electrical controls and switches (on
models so equipped) because it
could cause a short circuit and
result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a fdm from the
cleaner to remain on the temperature
sensing bulb—it could cause the
oven to heat improperly. (The bulb
is located at the rear of the oven.)
Carefully wipe the bulb clean after
each oven cleaning, being careful
not to move the bulb as a change
in its position could affect how
the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner
on the oven door, handles or any
exterior surface of the oven, wood
or painted surfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces.
