Caring for Your Glide Racks
Handle oven racks only when they are cool. After cooking or
after the fresh-clean cycle, 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 lubrication 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 after every fresh-clean cycle and
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 newspaper 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.
Apply to loading guides, and rotation pin. 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 the rack upside down and apply graphite lubri-
cation to the insides of the loading guides.
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 bottom of the
"V" and the glide channels. Keeping the frame sides
lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily
when changing rack positions.
8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.
