Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water, rinse and dry.

NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven, however, the shelves will darken

in color. lose their luster and become hard to slide if

cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the ~rease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap- filled or plastic scouring pad.

The enamel grid und broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-clean oven. However, to prevent heavy smoke caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you must first clean off the excess grease.

If f’ood has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial o~.en cleaner. If the grid is grey enamel, it can also be cleaned with an oven cleaner. If the grid is chrome, do not LISe an oven cleaner to clean it.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the range.
