Hi Teal - Thanks for reaching out to us! We recommend to wash the racks with warm, soapy water. The standard oven racks / shelves are chrome plated and can be cleaned in a self-cleaning oven; however, it is not recommended since they may discolor and lose some of their luster. They typically discolor to a deep gray after self-cleaning. To keep the luster, the racks should cleaned with soap and water rather than cleaned in the oven's self-cleaning cycle. Commercial oven cleaner may used for the racks, but some cleaners cause discoloration. Be sure to do a small test area to check the results, and rinse the racks thoroughly after cleaning.
