Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Bottom
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 rack below the
rack 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 airflow 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 scouring pad.
Rinsewell to remove any soap before self-
cleaning.
