The oven bottom and oven racks are easily removed for cleaning at the sink in mild detergent and water. If necessary, clean with fine steel wool pads, rinse well and wipe dry. Be sure to replace in correct position for even heat distribution.
MEAT PROBE
A meat probe should not be immersed in water when cleaned. Wipe with a damp cloth.
A meat probe is a delicate instrument which should not be abused. When disconnecting the probe after cooking, grasp the plug on one end and the solid part of the probe on the other end. DO NOT PULL ON THE CABLE AT ANY TIME.
Also, the meat probe should not be stored in the oven or other parts of the range. Since the probe could become defective if it is exposed to 350 degrees or over, it should be stored at room temperature.
BROILER
Broiler pan cleaning can be minimized by removing the broiler pan BEFORE preheating broiler compartment. Cold food placed on a hot broiler pan will stick before it is placed in the broiler. After food is cooked, remove it AND the broiler pan from broiler compartment. Drippings will bake on the broiler pan if left in a hot broiler compartment. As soon as food has been removed from the broiler pan pour off grease. Sprinkle pan and insert with soap powder or liquid detergent and cover with a hot damp cloth or wet paper towels. Drippings will steam and loosen while the meal is being served. A soapy fine steel wool pad may also be used if needed. Do not cover broiler pan insert with aluminum foil during broiling. Grease MUST be allowed to drip through the broiler pan insert into the lower pan away from the heat.
