The flames for the top (broil)
burner should burn steady with
approximately
1" blue cones and
should not extend out over the
edges of the burner baffle
To determine
if the bottom
burner
flames are proper,
remove the oven bottom (see
below) and the burner baffle The
flames should have I/2" to 3/4"
blue cones with no yellow tipping,
When the baffle is back in place,
the flames will resettle
Visually check the color of the
flames every six months

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 acidic (such as milk,
tomatoes
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 or a small cookie sheet on
a lower shelf or' under the baking
dish to catch any spillovers
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,
Ira 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
or soap-
filled abrasive pads
Rinse well
to remove any soap before self-
cleaning
