off when element is heated. Bake element is hinged and can be
lifted to clean oven bottom.

Drain fat, cool pan and grid slightly. (Do not let soiled pan and
grid stand in oven to cool.) Sprinkle with soap. Fill the pan with
warm water. Let pan and grid stand for a few minutes. Wash or
scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler pan and grid may
also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Burner bowls Soap and water The burner bowls can be removed for ease in cleaning. For
extra dried on soil, soak the bowls in warm soapy water.

on the element during cooking will burn off. Never immerse coil
