Oven Racks
Oven rack
All oven 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. Gray
porcelain-coated oven racks may remain
in the oven during the self-cleaning
cycle without being damaged. The shiny,
silver-colored oven racks may remain in
the oven during the self-cleaning cycle,
but they will lose their luster and become
hard to slide.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface
in the direction of the grain. Follow the
cleaner instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the door,
top of the control panel and the drawer
front. Clean these with soap and water
or a vinegar and water solution.
It will be necessary to grease all oven
rack side edges with a light coating of
vegetable 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.
