range during
a clean
cyclej
they will darken_
lose their

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 oll 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 gasket
and t he front edge of the oven cavity (about 1" into the
oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see
