Caring for your glide racks
Handle oven racks only when they are cool. After
cooking, racks will be very hot and can cause
burns.
Important Notes:
•
Remove all oven racks, including ladder racks,
before starting a clean cycle.
•
Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other
oil-based lubrication products on the glide rack
extension tracks. Use only the graphite lubrica-
tion in this area. To order graphite lubrication,
contact your installer, servicer or dealer.
•
It is important that the parts of the rack that
contact the oven sides always have a light
coating of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack when the
rack becomes difficult to reposition in the oven.
To lubricate the glide rack:
1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the
rack on a large flat surface covered with news-
paper or scrap cloth. Fully extend the rack.
2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide
track using a cloth or sponge.
3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before
applying. Place four drops of graphite lubrica-
tion along the tracks (see area circled on figure
below). Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.

4. Extend and return the glide rack several times
along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.
5. Turn glide rack over. Shake graphite lubrication
very well before applying. Place four drops of
graphite lubrication along the tracks. Repeat on
both sides of the glide rack.
6. Extend and return the glide rack several times
along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.
7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the outer
frame of the glide rack as shown below. Keep-
ing the frame sides lightly lubricated allows the
entire rack to slide easily when changing rack
positions.
8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.
