Oven racks
• If the racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and
the finish will be dull. After the self-cleaning cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the
sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of oil. This will help the
racks glide more easily into their tracks.
• Gliding racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. During cleaning,
be careful not to allow water or cleaner to enter the slides on the sides of rack.
• Do not clean in a dishwasher.
• If the rack becomes hard to remove or replace, lightly wipe the oven rack guides with
cooking oil. Do not wipe cooking oil on the slides.
• If the rack becomes difficult to slide, the rack may need to be lubricated using the
Graphite Lubrication.
• To order Graphite Lubrication, Call our center at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864) or visit our
homepage (www.samsung.com/us or www.samsung.com/ca) and reference DG81-
01629A.
• If you want to buy directly, connect to http://www.samsungparts.com/Default.aspx.
To lubricate the slides
1
. Remove the rack from the oven. See removing the gliding rack in
the USING THE GLIDING RACK section.

. Fully extend the rack on a table or countertop. Newspaper may be
placed underneath the rack for easy cleanup.
3
. If there is debris in the slide tracks, wipe it away using a paper
towel.(Any graphite lubricant wiped away must be replaced - See
steps 4 through 7.
4
. Shake the graphite lubricant before opening it. Starting with the left
(front and back) slide mechanism of the rack, place four (4) small
drops of lubricant on the two (2) bottom tracks of the slide close to
the bearing carriers.
5
. Repeat for the right (front and back) slide mechanism of the rack.
6
. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
7
