General 4 information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

Do not use stove top grills on the burner

grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a

sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can
result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold
temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first
time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make
sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/
32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power
supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Always turn

the knob to the LITE position when igniting the burners. Visually
check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The use
of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface
burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also
improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not

Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the risk

of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilovers

cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners— Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

burner pans or oven bottom, or any other part of the appliance.
Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as
a cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective liners
or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or
a short circuit.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Warmer Drawer (if

equipped)—Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the

door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove
or replace food in the oven/warmer drawer.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at the
rear of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the
oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven/Warmer Drawer (if equipped) Racks.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/drawer (if
equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before
removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven/drawer is hot, use
extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot oven
element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid
with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could

cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the
power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE

• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease

filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or
injury.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for rangetop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner
is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot
and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because
the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the
burner and cause combustion problems.

General 5 information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

SELF-CLEANING OVENS:

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven

listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move
the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part
of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the
oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Selecting Burner Cooking Utensils

For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:

Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bot­tom. There should be no gap between
the pan and ruler.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intend­ed purpose. Follow manufacturer's in­structions. Some utensils were not made
to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Note: Do not use griddle on more than
one burner. That can damage your
cooktop and that can result in exposure
to carbon monoxide levels above allow­able current standards. That can hazard­ous to your health.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used

but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

General 6 information

Conversion Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion

The cooktop can be used with Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
If you wish to convert your appliance for use with LP/Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag containing the literature

marked, "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions package with the orifices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and

requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The
qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Severe shock or damage to the appliance may occur if the appliance is not installed by a qualified installer.

Flame Size

Never extend the flame
beyond the outer edge of
the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat
and energy, and increases
your risk of being burned
by the flame.

RIGHT

WRONG

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the
process. Use a chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size
and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for
cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too
cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the
center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither
brown or cook properly.

*Flame Size

High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame

* These settings are based on using medium thickness aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary
when using other types of pans.

T ype of Cooking

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

General 7 information

Setting Surface Controls

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each
cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under
General Cleaning.

Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each
time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

To operate the surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob counterclockwise to LITE.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. After the burner ignites, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The knob can now be turned in

Surface Burner Control

Knob

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner
head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After the burner ignites, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. Use caution
when lighting surface burners manually.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the

grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the

cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to

a flame.

either direction without being pushed in. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark.
Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE position,
as this will cause excess wear on the ignitor electrode.

5. To turn the burner off, turn the control knob clockwise as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

NOTE: All knobs shown in this
owner's Guide are typical only

.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented through at the rear of the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air is
released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results. DO NOT block the vents. Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire
or damage to the appliance

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE
OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out.

To replace an oven rack, Fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of
the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Setting Oven Controls

For oven settings, refer to the time or the electronic oven control section.

General 8 information

Before Setting W armer Drawer Contr ol (some models)

Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions

Set the warmer drawer rack in the vertical position as shown beside:
The rack can be used in 2 ways:

• In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be
placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or
biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish under).

• In the Downward position to allow you to place light weight
food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and
dinner plates)

Upright Position

Downward Position

Setting Warmer Drawer Contr ol (some models)

Note: The warmer drawer cannot be used during an oven self-cleaning cycle. The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may

require extra force when opening and closing the drawer.

Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated
dinner plates.

To Operate the Warmer Drawer

The purpose of the warmer drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended
to heat cold food in the warmer drawer.

All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain moisture and softness. Do not cover crisp
foods. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the warmer drawer.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be hot.

Indicator Light

The indicator light is located above or below the thermostat control knob. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control
is turned off. Make sure indicator light is off when removing food from drawer.

To Set the Thermostat Control

The thermostat control knob is used to select the temperature of the warmer drawer. It is located on the
control panel. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO. The control can be
set to the three settings, or anywhere between.

1. To set the thermostat, push in and turn the knob to the desired setting.

2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will reach the LO setting in

WARM & SERVE

DRAWER

about 12 minutes, the MED setting in about 15 minutes, and the HI setting in about 18 minutes.

3. When done, turn the thermostat control to OFF.

General 9 information

Setting Warmer Drawer Contr ols (some models) (continued)

Temperature Selection

Refer to the chart for recommended settings. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired,
remove the lid or aluminum foil. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting. When a combination of
foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the high setting. Refrain from opening the warmer drawer
while in use to eliminate loss of heat from the drawer. Open only for adding or removing food.

Convection Cooking (some models)

NOTE: The convection fan automatically turns off when the oven door is opened while oven is in a convection mode and
resumes when the door is closed again.

The convection oven uses a fan located in the rear wall of the oven to circulate heated air around the food to be cooked. The controlled
air flow pattern quickly seals the food surface retaining the natural juices and flavor. This method of cooking enables you to obtain the
best culinary results when baking, thawing, dehydrating and roasting foods.

Convection notes:

1. Most recipes can be made with temperatures set at 13°C (25°F) lower than temperatures required for normal radiant cooking methods.
Refer to the electronic oven control operating instructions included in section “Electronic Oven Control” of this Use & Care Guide. This
can result in considerable reduction of food shrinkage and more tender meats.

2. Batch cooking is more convenient with better results.

3. Defrosting is quicker in convection mode when compared to regular radiant cooking.

4. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking/roasting when using the convection mode. Times may be
reduced by as much as 30% when using the convection feature.

Convection Roasting (some models)

ROASTING

GRID

When convection roasting, use the broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. The broiler pan
will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent grease spatters. The roasting rack will hold
the meat.

1. Place oven rack on bottom or next-bottom rack position.

2. Place the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the heated air to
circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside.
Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan. DO NOT use the
broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil.

General 11 information

Broiling

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating. Foods will
stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROIL as instructed in the Owner’s

Open door to the "Broil

Stop" position when broiling

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull rack out to the “stop”
position before turning or removing food.

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the element, but on the thickness and aging
of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also
require additional time.

Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary
when broiling meats well-done.

Broiling Tips

The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping
grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed grease could
ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire

continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire.
Flour may be explosive.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips:

• To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.

• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the
broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.

• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the
grid.

Always pull oven rack out to the “stop” position before
turning or removing food.

Changing Oven Light

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven light on

during the self-cleaning cycle. High temperature will reduce lamp life.

On some models an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened.
The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located on the control panel.
On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.

THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.

T o replace the light bulb:
CAUTION: BE SURE OVEN IS COOL

1. Turn the power off at the main source.

2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.

4. For self-cleaning oven, press wire holder to one side to release glass shield, change bulb and be

sure to replace glass shield.

How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To

remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth.
Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before
wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the
controls may cause damage to the appliance. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains
may occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up
the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up
grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse

with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they
can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight
off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the
shaft; then push the knob into place.

Cleaners made especially for stainless steel as Stainless Steel Magic, or other similar cleaners
are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the
cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.

The holes in the burner of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and
a complete, even flame. Clean the burners routinely and especially after bad spillovers which
could clog these holes.

To remove, clean and replace the entire burner cap assembly, follow the instructions under

To Clean the Cooktop Glass

COOL.
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when

spillovers are cleaned up immediately. Remove burner grates before cleaning. To clean the cooktop, wipe
with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your heat-resistant glass top. Spills and spatters
should be wiped up using a clean paper towel and sudsy water. This should be done either as soon as
possible after the spill occurs, after cooking is completed, or at the latest, before using the cooktop again.
Use caution if the cooktop is hot. For heavy spills, spatter or burned-on materials, use a razor blade scraper .
Hold the razor blade scraper at a 30° angle and remove food spills or burned on food residue.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is

caution to avoid
damaging surface.

For sugary spillovers:

Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while
the cooktop is still hot.

Finish the cleaning process by applying a recommended heat-resistant glass cooktop cleaning creme.

Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinse with a paper towel dampened with clean water and
wipe dry. Always wipe the cooktop thoroughly to avoid heating any cleaner residue.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners on any part of the cooktop. Damage to the finish or parts could result.

DO NOT use the following on the heat-resistant glass cooktop:

• Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads. They may scratch the cooktop and make it more difficult to clean later. Always use

a new, clean paper towel when cleaning the heat-resistant glass top.

• Anything that may melt (plastics, aluminum foil, sugar or food with a high sugar content).

• Heavy duty cleansers, rust or stain removers.

• Chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid or any other kind of chemical cleaners. They may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Sponges, cloths or dish towels. Always use a new, clean paper towel when cleaning the cooktop. Lint or soil remaining on the cooktop

from a cloth or sponge can burn and cause discoloration.

To Clean the Bur ner Grates, Contoured Burner Pans, Burner Caps and Burner
Bases

The burner grates, contoured burner pans, burner caps, and burner bases should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will
prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. See instructions below.

To Clean the Burner Grates
Be sure burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder , cleaning cloths or other

material on them. The cast iron burner grates can be washed in hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and
dry the grates with a cloth- don't put them on the cooktop while still wet. Be sure the grates are
positioned securely over the burners.

To remove burned on food, place the grates in a covered container or heavy plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup
ammonia and soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry. An abrasive cleaner can be used for
stubborn stains.

T o Clean the Contour ed Burner Pans

The square burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burner pan forms a
recessed well area located around each burner unit. If a spill occurs in one of the well areas, blot up spill

To Clean the Burner Cap

Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps. If neces­sary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes.
Rub gently with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of clean water and
vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during
future heating.

T o Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening

The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a small­gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes. Use care to prevent damage to the
electrode. If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or damage the
electrode. If the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light.
Manual lighting with a match is still possible.

For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner—DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,
CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS OPENING. Gas must
flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light properly. If
the orifice gas opening becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-gauge wire or needle to
clean. ALWAYS keep the burner base and the burner cap in place whenever a surface
burner is in use.

To Replace the Burner Cap Assembly

Make sure all parts are dry before placing back on the burner.

1. Replace burner base at it place. Put back burner cap. Make sure each burner cap is
properly aligned and level.

2. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If burner does not light after cleaning,
contact an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.

Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models)

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children

unattended near the appliance.

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until

the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven

door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. DO
NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to
a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.

clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when
subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These areas heat
sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not withstand
high cleaning temperatures

DO HAND
CLEAN DOOR

What to Expect During Cleaning

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion
and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent, located on the
top of the control panel.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and
should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.

DO NOT HAND

4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle,
their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and the oven has cooled, rub
the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or
salad oil. This will make the racks glide easier.
