be cleaned during the self-clean
cycle, but will lose their luster
and become hard to slide, if you
choose to leave them in during
the cycle, wiping the edges down
with vegetable oil after the cycle

Gray porcelain-coated oven
racks may safely be cleaned in
the oven during a self-clean
cycle. It will be necessary to
grease the edges of the oven
rack with a light coating of
vegetable oil after a clean cycle.

of sliding the racks in and out of
the oven.
For the first clean cycle, vent the
room with an opened window or
hood vent. This will reduce the
odor when heating new parts.
