GE CS975SDSS - Manual (Page 34)

Care and cleaning of the range.
Use the rack without the two front
handles in the lower oven.
Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an
abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a
clean cloth. Gray porcelain-coated oven racks
may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning
cycle without being damaged. The nickel-plated
oven racks may remain in the oven during the
self-cleaning cycle, but they will lose their luster
and become hard to slide. It will be necessary
to grease all oven rack side edges with a light
coating of vegetable oil after cleaning them by
hand or in the oven. This will help maintain the
ease of sliding the racks in and out of the oven.
Lodge® Cast Iron Griddle (Model CS980 only)
Griddle Precautions: Rinse with hot water (do not use soap), and
— dry thoroughly.
^ Before cooking, prepare the surface with
cooking spray or vegetable oil.
After cooking, clean the griddle with a stiff
brush and hot water. Using soap is not
recommended, and harsh detergents
should never be used.
Towel dry immediately and apply a light
coat of cooking spray or vegetable oil
while the griddle is still warm.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Do not wash in a dishwasher.
■ If something has spilled under the griddle,
it should be cleaned up as soon as possible
to prevent "baked on" food soil. See the
Cleaning the glass cooktop section.
■ Do not allow grease to accumulate under
the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean
under the griddle as soon as it is cool. See the
Cleaning the glass cooktop section.
■ Do not place your griddle in the microwave
oven.
■ Always turn off all surface units before
removing the griddle. Use caution when
handling a hot griddle.
