CARE AND CLEANING
Caring for Your Glide Racks
Caution:
Handle oven racks only when they are cool. After
cooking or after the fresh-clean cycle, racks will be very hot
and can cause burns.
Important Notes:
•
Remove all oven racks, including ladder racks, before
starting a clean cycle.
•
Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based
lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks.
Use only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order
graphite lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or
dealer.
•
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 fresh-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.
Apply to loading guides, and rotation pin. 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 the rack upside down and apply graphite lubrica-
tion to the insides of the loading guides.
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 bottom of the “V”
and the glide channels. 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.
