Standard Racks

Safety

The standard racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

They may also remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle without being damaged.

If they become hard to slide, wipe their side edges and the oven rack supports with cooking oil after cleaning them by hand or in the oven. This will help maintain the ease of sliding the racks in and out of the oven.

Instructions

Extension Rack

Operating

Porcelain enamel surfaces of the extension rack may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.

Do not use a steel wool pad to clean stainless steel surfaces of the extension rack; it will scratch the surface. See Stainless Steel Surfaces in this Care and cleaning section.

NOTE: Do not clean in a dishwasher.

If there is debris in the slide tracks, wipe it away using a paper towel. NOTE: Any graphite lubricant wiped away must be replaced.
