and any foil that may be in the oven. Do not try to
clean utensils or any other objects In the oven during
a self-clean cycle.

lose their
luster
and become
hard to slide.
If
you choose to leave the racks in the oven, you can
polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and
apply a small amount of vegetable
oti to the rack
edges after the self-clean cycle. This will make the
racks easier to slide.

the cooktop, the door liner outside the door seal and
the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1" into the
oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see
