CARE AND CLEANING
Caring for Your Glide Racks
Caution: 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 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 coat-
ing of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of vegeta-
ble 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 new
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 ap-
plying. 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
lubrication 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 posi-
tions.
8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.
