Extension Rack
Porcelain enamel surfaces of the extension
rack may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive
cleaner or steel wool.
Do not use a steel wool pad to clean stainless
steel surfaces of the extension rack; it will
scratch the surface. See Stainless Steel
Surfaces in this Care and cleaning section.
NOTE: Do not clean in a dishwasher.
NOTE: Porcelain-coated oven racks may
remain in the oven during the self-cleaning
cycle without being damaged. The shiny, silver-
colored oven racks may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken in
color, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
If the rack becomes hard to remove or
replace, wipe the oven rack supports with
cooking oil. Do not wipe cooking oil on the
slides.
If the rack becomes difficult to slide or if the
release levers become difficult to use, the
rack may need to be lubricated using the
Graphite Lubrication shipped with your oven.
To order additional Graphite Lubrication, call
our National Parts Center at 800.626.2002 and
reference WB02T10303.
To lubricate the slides:
NOTE: Do not spray extension rack with cooking
spray or other lubricant sprays.
Remove the rack from the oven. See
Extension Rack in the Using the oven
section.
Fully extend the rack on a table
or countertop. Newspaper may be placed
underneath the rack for easy cleanup.
If there is debris in the slide tracks, wipe it
away using a paper towel.
NOTE: Any graphite lubricant wiped away
must be replaced.
Shake the graphite lubricant before
opening it. Starting with the 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.
Repeat for the right slide mechanism of
the rack.
Open and close the rack several times to
distribute the lubricant.
Replace the cap on the lubricant and
shake it again. Turn the rack over and
repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Close the rack, turn rack right-side-up and
place in the oven. See Extension Rack in
the Using the oven section.
To lubricate the release levers:
Shake lubricant and apply to the moving parts
of the release levers and paddle mechanisms.
