CARE AND CLEANING Oven Racks The racks that were provided with your oven (dark enameled racks, not shiny) may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle without being damaged. To manually clean racks, use warm, soapy water. Make sure not to wash the rack slides on an extension rack. If racks become more difficult to remove from the oven, put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the oven rack supports. Do not wipe the oil on an extension rack slide. Periodically, after several self-clean cycles, the extension rack slides may need to be lubricated using the graphite lubricant shipped with your wall oven. To order additional graphite lubricant read the Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of this manual. 1. Remove extension rack from the oven. See the Extension Oven Racks section. 2. Fully extend the rack on a table or countertop. Newspaper may be placed underneath the rack for easy clean up. 3. If there is debris in the slide tracks, wipe it away using a paper towel. NOTE: Any graphite lubricant wiped away must be replaced. 4. Shake the graphite lubricant before opening it. Starting with 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. 5. Repeat for the right slide mechanism of the rack. 6. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant. 7. Replace the cap on the lubricant and shake it again. Turn the rack over and repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6. 8. Close the rack, turn rack right-side-up and place in the oven. See the Extension Oven Racks section. 9. Repeat above steps for each rack.
