Oven Racks
•
If left in the oven during self-cleaning, the racks will discolor and will not slide as easily on their
tracks. When the oven is cool, rub the rack sides with wax paper or a bit of oil to help the racks
glide more easily on their tracks.
•
Clean gliding racks by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. Do not let water or cleaner
enter the rack slides.
NOTE
•
Do not clean the racks in a dishwasher.
•
If the rack does not slide easily, it can be treated with an FDA-approved graphite lubricant.
(Graphite lubricant can be purchased from many stores and online.)
Lubricating the Gliding-Rack Slides
Do not lubricate the gliding rack with cooking spray or other such sprays.

2.
Fully extend the rack on a surface covered with
newspaper or cloth.
3.
With paper towel, wipe debris from the slide
tracks.

Shake the graphite lubricant before opening it.
Starting with the rack's left (front, back) slide
mechanism, place 4 small drops of lubricant on
the 2 bottom tracks of the slide close to the
bearing carriers (see left).

Repeat for the right (front, back) slide
