Pan placement
- Place pans in the center of the oven rack.
- Allow 1″ to 1 1/2″ of air space around pans.
- When baking four cake layers at the same time stagger pans on two racks so one pan is not above another.
Baking pans and dishes
- Use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware for tender, light, golden brown crusts.
- Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat and will result in a browner, crisper crust. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations in selecting baking temperatures.
- Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the length of cooking time.
- Use low-sided, uncovered pans for convection modes.
For best cooking results
- Open the oven door as briefly as possible to avoid reducing the oven temperature.
- Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
- When using convection baking modes (including multirack), set the oven temperature 25° F lower than indicated in conventional baking recipes or package directions.
- Preheat oven for baked goods and pizza.

Oven cleaning recommendations
Clean only those oven parts that are listed in this cleaning chart.
Avoid these cleaners
Do not use commercial oven cleaners such as Easy Off®*. They may damage the
oven finish or parts. Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some cleansers are
corrosive to stainless steel. Check ingredients on label. Never use scouring
pads or abrasivecleaners. Clean only parts listed in the Use and Care manual.
- Certain trademarks contained herein are third-party trademarks belonging to their respective owners. All others are trademarks of BSH Home Appliances Corporation or its affiliates.
Part | Recommendations |
---|---|
Flat rack | DO NOT CLEAN WITH THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION. |
Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing
powder or soapfilled pads as directed. If the flat racks are cleaned in the
oven during the self clean mode, they will loose their shiny finish and may
not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with a small amount
of vegetable oil. Then wipe off excess.
Telescopic rack| DO NOT CLEAN WITH THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION.
Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing
powder or soapfilled pads as directed. Avoid getting cleansing powder in the
telescopic slides. Re-lubrication may become necessary. Use only high-
temperature food-grade lubricants to re-lubricate slides
Door gasket| DO NOT CLEAN DOOR GASKET
The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the gasket.
Glass| Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® on a clean
sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents,
steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Painted surfaces| Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® to a clean
sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents,
steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Porcelain surfaces| Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk,
and tomatoes with a dry cloth. Do not use a moistened sponge/cloth on hot
porcelain. When cool, clean with hot soapy water or apply Bon- Ami® or Soft
Scrub® to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, use soap-filled
pads. It is normal for porcelain to show fine lines with age due to exposure
to heat and food soil.
Stainless steel surfaces| Never allow food stains or salt to remain on
stainless steel for any length of time. Always wipe or rub in the direction of
the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe with
Fantastik® sprays on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel
Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white
vinegar. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend®* to remove heat discoloration. Chlorine or
chlorine compounds in some cleansers are corrosive to stainless steel. Check
ingredients on label.
Black stainless surfaces| For black stainless steel surfaces, use a soft, dry
towel. For stubborn dirt, use warm water diluted with a nonabrasive, mild
cleansing soap. Never use stainless steel polish.
Plastic and controls| When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Probe| Wipe with soapy water. Do not submerge. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
Printed areas (words and numbers)| Do not use abrasive cleaners or petroleum
based solvents.
