Care & Cleaning
(Cleaning Chart)
Oven racks should be removed, or else their finish will dull and their color turn slightly
blue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then remove
the oven racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of
baby or salad oil; this will make the oven racks glide easier back in and out of their
positions.
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the
door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material,
on self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket.
