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
diffi
cult to reposition in the oven.
To lubricate the glide rack:
1.
Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack
on a large fl at 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 ap-
plying. 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
lubrication 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.
