Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gen-
tly rub with cleansing powder or

Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gen-
tly rub with cleansing powder or

NOT clean the rack in the self-
cleaning oven.
If the flat racks are cleaned in the

this happens, wipe the rack
edges with a small amount of
vegetable oil. Then wipe off
excess.

thoroughly and dry, or gently rub
with cleansing powder or soap-
filled pads as directed. Avoid get-
ting cleansing powder in the tele-
scopic slides. Re-lubrication may
become necessary. Use only
high-temperature food-grade
lubricants to re-lubricate slides.
DO NOT clean the rack in the
self-cleaning oven. If the tele-
scopic rack is cleaned in the
oven during the self clean mode
it will lose its shiny finish and will
not glide smoothly.
