Care and Cleaning 37
Caring for your 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 porcelain racks may be left in the oven if
they are soiled. After a self clean cycle, or anytime the gliding is
rough, the glide racks should be treated with graphite lubrica-
tion.
• Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based lubri-
cation products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use only the
graphite lubrication in this area.
• 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 and 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 tracks (see area
circled on figure below). Repeat on both sides of the glide
rack.
4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the
tracks to distribute the lubrication.
5. Turn glide rack over. Shake graphite lubrication very well
before applying. Place four drops of graphite lubrication
along the tracks. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.
6. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the
tracks to distribute the lubrication.
7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the outer frame of the
glide rack as shown below. Keeping the frame sides lightly
lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when
changing rack positions.
8. Replace rack in oven right side up.
