OVEN CAVITY
Do not use oven cleaners.
Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high
temperatures, foods react with porcelain and staining, etching,
pitting or faint white spots can result.
Cleaning Method:
■ Self-Cleaning cycle: See “Self-Cleaning Cycle” first.
OVEN RACKS
Cleaning Method:
■ Steel-wool pad
■ For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light
coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help
them slide.
