Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand
with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After
cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water
and dry with a clean cloth. Gray porcelain-
coated oven racks may remain in the oven
during the self-cleaning cycle without being
damaged. The nickel-plated oven racks
may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle, but they will lose their
luster and become hard to slide. It will be
necessary to grease all oven rack side
edges with a light coating of vegetable oil
after cleaning them by hand or in the oven.
This will help maintain the ease of sliding
the racks in and out of the oven.
Flat rack
Handles
Use the rack with the two front handles
in the upper oven.
Use the rack without the two front
handles in the lower oven.
