After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray porcelain-coated oven racks may remain in the oven during the selfcleaning cycle without being damaged. The shiny, silver-colored oven racks may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle, but they will lose their luster and become hard to slide. It will be necessary to grease all oven rack side edges with a light coating of vegetable 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. Rail Stop guide Storage Drawer Removal To remove the drawer: Pull the drawer out until it stops.
