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. If nickel-plated
oven racks remain in the oven during the self­
cleaning cycle, 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.
Extension Rack (on some models)
Extension 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 extension slides on the
sides of the rack.
NOTE: Do not clean in a dishwasher.
If the rack becomes hard to remove or
replace,
wipe the oven rack supports with
cooking oil. Do not wipe cooking oil on the
slides.
If the rack becomes difficult to slide or if the
paddle is difficult to actuate, the rack may need
to be lubricated using the Graphite Lubrication
shipped with your oven. To order additional
Graphite Lubrication, call our National Parts
Center at 800.626.2002 and reference
WB02T10303.

To lubricate the slides:
NOTE: Do not spray extension rack with cooking
spray or other lubricant sprays.
Remove the rack from the oven. See
Extension Rack in the Using the oven
section.
Fully extend the rack on a table or
countertop. Newspaper may be placed
underneath the rack for easy cleanup.
If there is debris in the slide tracks, wipe it
away using a paper towel.
NOTE: Any graphite lubricant wiped away
must be replaced - see steps 4 through 7.
Shake the graphite lubricant before
opening it. Starting with the left 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.
Repeat for the right slide mechanism of
the rack.

s
Open and close the rack several times to
distribute the lubricant.
Replace the cap on the lubricant and
shake it again. Turn the rack over and
repeat steps 3 , 4 , 5 and 6.
Close the rack, turn rack right-side-up and
place in the oven. See Extension Rack in
the Using the oven section.
To lubricate the paddle:
Shake lubricant and
apply to the moving
ports of the paddle
mechanisms as shown.
