Care and Cleaning
Porcelain
enameled
glide racks
Handle
oven racks only when they are cool.
After cooking
or after the self clean cycle,
racks will be very hot
and can cause burns.
Important
notes:
•
It is recommended
to remove
all racks from the oven during
self-clean
cycles,
but they may be left in the oven if they
are soiled.
After a self clean cycle, the glide
racks should
be treated
with graphite
lubrication.
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 self-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. 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.
Place
four drops
of graphite
lubrication
along
the bottom
tracks
(as shown in area circled
in figure
below).
Repeat
on both
sides of the glide
rack.
4.
5.
6.
Extend and return
the glide
rack several
times to distribute
the lubricant.
Turn glide
rack over. Place four drops of graphite
lubrica-
tion along
the top tracks.
Repeat
on both
sides of the glide
rack.
Extend and return
the glide
rack several
times to distribute
the lubricant.
Z
Apply
a thin layer of cooking
oil to the outer frame
of the
glide
rack. Keeping
the frame
lightly
lubricated
allows
the
entire
rack to slide easily when changing
rack
positions.
8.
Replace
rack in oven right-side
up.
