Maintenance
Racks
To keep the racks clean, remove them from the cavity, and soak them in lukewarm
soapy water. Then, scour soil off of the racks using a plastic scouring pad. If the
racks do not slide in and out smoothly after you have cleaned them, rub the side
rail guides with wax paper or a cloth containing a few drops of cooking oil. This
will help the racks glide more easily on their tracks.
NOTES
•
Do not use a dishwasher to clean the racks.
•
If a rack does not slide in and out smoothly, apply a few drops of cooking oil
to the oven rack guides.
•
If a rack becomes too difficult to slide in or out, lubricate the rack.
•
To purchase the graphite lubricant, contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).

CAUTION
•
Do not leave the racks in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle. The extreme
heat generated in this cycle can permanently peel off the rack coating and
make it difficult to slide the racks on the guide rails.
•
Do not spray cooking oil or lubricant directly onto the gliding rack.
Door
Do not remove the inner gasket of the oven door for cleaning.
