Standard Racks
The standard racks may be cleaned by
hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel
wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
They may also remain in the oven
during the self-cleaning cycle without
being damaged.
If they become hard to slide, wipe their
side edges and the oven rack supports
with cooking oil after cleaning them by
hand or in the oven. This will help
maintain the ease of sliding the racks
in and out of the oven.
Extension Rack
Porcelain enamel surfaces of the
extension rack may be cleaned by hand
with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
Do not use a steel wool pad to clean
stainless steel surfaces of the extension
rack; it will scratch the surface. See
Stainless Steel Surfaces in this Care and
cleaning section.
NOTE: Do not clean in a dishwasher.
The rack may also remain in the oven
during the self-cleaning cycle without
being damaged.
If the rack becomes hard to remove or
replace, wipe the oven rack supports
with cooking oil. Do not wipe cooking oil
on the slides.
If the rack becomes difficult to slide or if
the release levers become difficult to use,
the rack may need to be lubricated using
the Graphite Lubrication shipped with
your oven. To order additional Graphite
Lubrication, call our National Parts
Center at 800.626.2002 and reference
WB02T10303.
To lubricate the slides:
NOTE: Do not spray extension rack with cooking
spray or other lubricant sprays.
Remove the rack from the oven.
See Extension Rack in the Using the oven
section.
Fully extend the rack on a table
or countertop. Newspaper may be
placed underneath the rack for easy
cleanup.
If there is debris in the slide tracks,
wipe it away using a paper towel.
NOTE: Any graphite lubricant wiped away
must be replaced.
Shake the graphite lubricant before
opening it. Starting with the left
slide mechanism of the rack, place
four (4) small drops of lubricant
on the two (2) bottom tracks of the
slide close to the bearing carriers.
Repeat for the right slide
mechanism of the rack.
Open and close the rack several
times to distribute the lubricant.
Replace the cap on the lubricant
and shake it again. Turn the rack over
and repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Close the rack, turn rack right-side-
up and place in the oven. See
Extension Rack in the Using the oven
section.
To lubricate the release levers:
Shake lubricant and apply to the moving
parts of the release levers and paddle
mechanisms.
