Your range is designed to be easy to clean. You will usually wipe off
spills and spatters when they happen, but you will sometimes want to
clean under and behind the control knobs and surface units. This section
will tell you how to remove those, and what to use when cleaning.
Removing and replacing surface unit control knobs:
1. Be sure the control knobs are set to "OFF"
2. Pull straight out on the black knobs.
3. If the control has a chrome trim ring, pull it straight out.
4. Wash the knobs (and trim rings) in warm, sudsy water.
5. Replace the trim rings first. If the control spring was removed, put
it back exactly as shown on the left.. .small end first.
6. Hold the black knob so it points to "OFF." Push it straight back on.
Removing and replacing oven control knobs:
1. Be sure the knobs are set to "OFF"
2. Pull each knob straight off.
3. Wash the knobs in warm. sudsy water.
4. The knobs are not interchangeable. Make sure you put the adjust-
able Oven Temperature Control Knob on the right place, and the
nonadjustable
Oven Selector Knob on the other.
Removing surface units and reflector bowls:
1. First. be sure the Surface Unit Controls are all "OFF" and that the
surface units are cool.
2. See where the surface units plug into the range? Lift each surface
unit about an inch (2.5 cm) at the edge away from the plug-in
(receptacle). Pull the unit straight away from the plug-in. Do not
wash surface units; they will burn themselves clean during nor-
mal use.
3. Lift out the reflector bowls.
Replacing reflector bowls and surface units:
1. Be sure the surface unit controls are on "OFF"
2. Put the reflector bowls back into their places. Make sure you can see
the plug-ins (receptacles) for the surface units through the square
hole in the side of each bowl.
3 Hold the surface unit level with the prongs (terminals) pornting at
the plug-in.
4. With the prongs started in the plug-in. start pushing in on the surface
unit. At the same time. lift a little on the side of the surface unit that's
by the plug-in.
5. Make sure the surface-unit prongs are pushed into the plug-in as far
as they will go. The surface unit will fit Into the reflector bowl and be
level when everything has been done right.
