Wipe the control panel clean after each use. Before cleaning the control panel turn all
controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the
shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the
cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water
in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after
cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier.
The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot
element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element can be cleaned with a damp cloth--
any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A
SU RFAOE ELEMENT IN WATER. To remove surface elements and drip bowls, follow the
instructions under GeneraJ Cleaning.
To clean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still
warm. Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about
20 minutes in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution made of equal parts ammonia
and water. A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers
or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish, and
dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. To replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow the
instructions under Genera! Cleaning.
