HOW TO CLEAN
1.
Turn the knobs off and pull them straight away from the control panel.
2.
Wash the knobs with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry them
well. Do not soak them. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers, which can

Replace the knobs. Make sure all knobs are turned off.

Wash the panel with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Wipe the panel with
clean water and dry it well. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers, which
can damage the finish.
OR

cleaner directly on the panel. Apply the cleaner to the paper towel.
