Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from
excessive spillovers by placing a coolde sheet on the
shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You can use
aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole shelf.
This is particularly important when baldng a fruit pie
or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as
tomatoes, sauerl_aut and sauces with vinegar or lemon
juice) may cause pitting arid damage to the porcelain
enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow
the oven to cool first. Remove the oven bottom for
easier clean-up and to prevent damage to the
continuous cleaning oven coating (on some models).
Frequent wipings with mild soap and water
(particularly after cooking meat) will prolong the time
between major cteanings, t_Jnse thoroughly. Soap left
on the oven bottom can cause stains.
For heavy soil, use an abrasive cleaner or a soap-filled
steel wool pad. A commercial oven cleaner may also be
used, following the package directions.
