porcelain
oven racks, which
can remain in the oven during
the self-clean
cycle. Do not clean this vegetable

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
dimcuit
to slide.
