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 OFF position;
grasp firmly and pull straight
off: the shaft. To replace
knobs after cleaning,
line up
the fiat sides of both knob and shaft; then push knob into place.

to the appliance.

and be sure to
squeeze excess water
from dishcloth
