20Oven BottomThe oven bottom has a porcelain enamelfinish. To make cleaning easier, protectthe oven bottom from excessive spilloversby placing a cookie sheet on the rackbelow the rack you are cooking on.This is particularly important when bakinga fruit pie or other foods with a high acidcontent. Hot fruit fillings or other foodsthat are highly acidic (such as tomatoes,sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar orlemon juice) may cause pitting anddamage to the porcelain enamel surfaceand should be wiped up immediately.We don’t recommend using aluminumfoil on the oven bottom. It can affect airflow if the holes are blocked and it canconcentrate 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 scouringpad. Remove the oven bottom for easierclean-up.Care and cleaning of the range.Lift-Off Oven DoorThe oven door is removable, but it is heavy.
