Care And Cleaning
OVEN RACKS
Periodically, the oven racks may need to be lubricated
using the Graphite Lubrication shipped with your
range. To order additional Graphite Lubrication, call our
National Parts Center at 800.626.2002 and reference
WB02T10303.
1. Remove rack from the oven. See the Partial
Extension Oven Racks section.
2. Fully extend the rack on a table or countertop.
Newspaper may be placed underneath the rack for
easy cleanup.
3. If there is debris in the slide
tracks, wipe it away using
a paper towel. NOTE: Any
graphite lubricant wiped
away must be replaced.
4. Shake the graphite lubricant
before opening it. Starting
with 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.
LOW PROFILE OVEN RACK
The low profile rack may be cleaned using a mild
abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the rack with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Periodically and after clean cycles, the low profile rack
may need to be lubricated to aid sliding. Wipe the
rack edges or oven rack supports with the Graphite
Lubrication shipped with your range or vegetable oil.
TEMPERATURE PROBE
Allow the temperature probe to cool before cleaning.
The probe should be cleaned with soap and water by
hand.
Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.
Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.

OVEN BOTTOM
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make
cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive
spillovers. A smaller sheet of foil or sheet tray may be
used to catch a spillover by placing it on the rack below
the rack you are cooking on. This is particularly important
when baking a fruit pie or other foods that are highly
acidic. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly
acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces with
vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage
to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up
immediately.
Never fully cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will
disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive
cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse well to remove
soap before self-cleaning.
