Instructions

Care and cleaning of the oven.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

Instructions Safety

Oven Racks

Clean the oven racks with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) may be cleaned in the self- cleaning oven. However, the racks will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

To make the racks slide more easily, apply a small amount of vegetable oil

or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel.
