Oven Racks
Clean the oven racks with an abrasive cleanser
or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks
with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The shiny, silver-colored oven racks

color, lose their luster and become hard to slide
if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
To make the racks slide more easily, apply a
small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to
a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven
racks with the paper towel.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake
element. Clean with warm soapy water.
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or
polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction
of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.

appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the

damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar
and hot water works well.

To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass
cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down
inside the oven door while cleaning.
Painted Surfaces
Clean with soap and water or a vinegar and
water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.

before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure
