cleaning methods below.

• Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job.

• Rub metal finishes in the direction of the grain.

• Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.

• Rinse thoroughly with a minimum of water so it does not drip into door slots.

• Dry to avoid water marks.

Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Or, gently rub with Soft Scrub®,

Bon-Ami®, Comet®, Ajax®, Brillo® or S.O.S.® pads as directed. Easy Off® or Dow® Oven

Cleaners (cold oven formula) can be used, but may cause darkening and discoloration.

Racks may be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode. However, chromed racks will lose

their shiny finish and permanently change to a metallic gray.
