All oven racksmay be cleaned by hand with an
abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After cleaning,

clean cloth. Grayporcelain-coated oven racks
may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning
cyclewithout being damaged. If nickel-plated
oven racks remain inthe oven during the self-

become hard to slide. It will be necessary to
grease all oven rack side edgeswith a light
coating of vegetable oil after cleaning them by
hand or in the oven.This will help maintain the
easeof sliding the racks in and out of the oven.
