Mine says to remove the racks if you want them to stay shiny. Makes no difference to me, so I leave them in. I'm not going to use the self cleaner on the oven then spend a few pounds of elbow grease trying to clean stains off the racks.
If I ever have to reseason a cast iron pan, it will be stripped in the oven first.
Same as mine. I've stripped off seasoning on two CI skillets by leaving them in the oven during self-cleaning. Once it was on purpose.
I leave my pizza stone in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle to clean it. Works great. I would see no problem with leaving a skillet on the floor of the oven.
