This appliance comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven
during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is
important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil.
To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides
of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
Glide Rack needs lubrication. For instructions on how to care for your Glide Rack, see
"Caring for Your Porcelain Enameled Glide Rack"
Surface control knob is set too high. Adjust to lower flame setting. Burner caps are not
seated properly. Check that all surface burner caps are level and seated correctly on
surface burner heads. See
Incorrect L.P. conversion. Refer to L.P. conversion kit instructions to correct.
